Follow these simple steps to create delicious Mini Turkey Meatballs:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, oregano, paprika, and red pepper flakes, if using.

3. Combine Mixture: Use your hands or a spatula to mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough meatballs.

4. Form Meatballs: With clean hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a small ball. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all mixture is formed into meatballs.

5. Bake: Lightly spray the formed meatballs with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are fully cooked. If you don’t have one, a cut in the center should show no pink.

7. Rest and Cool: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.

These steps guide you through the easy process of making Mini Turkey Meatballs, ensuring they turn out beautifully every time.
