- 1 lb ground turkey, or a combination of beef + turkey
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 3-4 oz goat cheese
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.In a saute pan over medium low heat, drizzle 1-2 tsp of olive oil and add your onions + garlic. Reduce heat to low and cook the onions until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.In a large bowl, combine the onion/garlic, panko, egg, goat cheese, spices, and turkey (and/or beef if using a combo) and mix until combined. Be careful to not over mix (no tough meatballs allowed!).Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop about 1/4 cup size meatballs into your hand and form balls. Place on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meatballs reach 165 degrees. Cook time will depend on the size of the meatballs! Smaller meatballs equal less cook time; larger, more cook time.
