Pesto Turkey Balls
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, lightly coat a baking sheet with a thin layer of oil to prevent the meatballs from sticking.
3
Combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, a generous helping of pesto, the grated Pecorino Romano cheese, a beaten egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
4
Using your hands, thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until they are perfectly blended.
5
Form the mixture into small, walnut-sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6
Finally, bake the meatballs in the preheated oven until they are no longer pink in the center, taking around 20 to 25 minutes.
