Turkey Meatball Recipe are cooked tender, delicious and full of amazing flavor. Try making these in the air fryer, oven, or stovetop for an amazing meal idea.
In a large bowl, combine ¼ cup milk and ? cup panko breadcrumbs. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes so the breadcrumbs can absorb the milk.
Add 1 pound ground turkey, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 large egg, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper to the bowl. Mix well using your hands or a large spoon until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1½ inches in diameter. You should have approximately 20–24 meatballs.

Notes
I recommend using ground turkey with a fat content of 93% lean, to help keep the meatballs moist and flavorful without being too greasy.
