EASY TURKEY MEATBALLS

INGREDIENTS

BASIC
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

EXTRAS
Parmesan cheese, grated
Fresh basil
Italian seasoning
Fresh Garlic
Red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the olive oil, and place it in the oven while preheating.

2.In a medium bowl, mix together the ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, and any "extra ingredients" using your hands. Form the meat into golf ball sized meatballs. Place about 1 inch apart in the hot baking dish. Press down to flatten the bottom just slightly.

3.Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then turn them over, and continue baking for about 5 more minutes, or until somewhat crispy on the outside.
 
4.  Optional:  let simmer in your favorite tomato or BBQ sauce
