Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • meatball scoop
  • Oven
  • bowl

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 0.5 lb mushrooms finely chopped (about 3 cups)
  • 1 cup onion finely chopped (about ½ large onion)
  • 0.5 cup celery finely chopped

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey breast
  • 0.5 cup coarsely ground cornmeal or dry cornbread stuffing

  • 1 medium egg lightly beaten

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or brush or spray with oil.
  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Using a meatball scoop or melon baller, scoop the mixture to form 24 - 1½ inch meatballs. The meatballs should be very moist but hold the shape when placed on the sheet pan. Place 1 inch apart on the pan.
  • Bake uncovered 18-22 minutes until the center of the meatballs reaches 165ºF on a meat thermometer. Serve warm as is with mini skewers or with cranberry sauce for dipping. I added a sprinkle of parsley for extra color!

Notes

Finely chop the onion and celery by hand or use a food processor for a smooth texture. Use gloved hands and a scoop for less mess. Spread the meatballs out on the pan to help them brown better.
