Ingredients

  • 12 ounces ground turkey

  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons water

Directions

  1. Place turkey, panko, Worcestershire, Italian seasoning, onion powder and salt in a medium bowl; mix gently until just combined. (Do not overmix.) Roll the mixture into 9 meatballs (about 2 heaping tablespoons each).

  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add water, cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F, about 5 minutes more.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
