These meatballs are so good by themselves, but they are even better on top of spaghetti squash!

**A little tip, if you want to have extra for leftovers for the week, double the recipe and once they are cooked pop them into the freezer for a quick and easy meal for those nights you are short on time!

10-Minute Turkey Meatballs

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground turkey
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
2 teaspoons sesame oil plus more to brush on top
2 green onions thinly sliced (or 2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion)
salt + pepper to taste

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

In a bowl, add ground turkey, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, egg, sesame oil, and green onions. Gently mix until well combined. 

Form the mixture into meatballs. Place on a lined baking sheet. Using a medium cookie scoop makes 15 meatballs, 1-inch in diameter. 

Broil on HIGH for 10 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.* Brush with more sesame oil on top for more flavor. 

I toss mine with crushed tomatoes after and serve immediately… then freeze the rest for an easy leftover meal!
