Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
90% lean (or ground turkey)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1% (or non-fat)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
Steps
Wash hands with soap and water.
Mix all ingredients, shape into balls (about 24 meatballs).
Arrange on baking sheets that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 425 °F for 12-15 minutes. It is best to use a food safety thermometer to check for doneness. It should read 160 °F for ground beef and 165 °F for ground turkey.
If meatballs are being saved for future use, chill rapidly; package in amounts needed per meal and freeze immediately.
