Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean preferred)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • For the Greek Yogurt Dip:
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or whole)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, grated Parmesan, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley.
  3. Add the egg, milk, and minced garlic. Mix gently with a fork or spatula until just combined.
  4. Crumble the ground turkey over the mixture and gently combine with clean hands or a spatula. Do not overmix.
  5. Scoop out heaping tablespoons and roll into balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter). Place evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. For crispier edges, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching closely.
  7. While meatballs bake, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Let meatballs cool for 5 minutes, then serve with the Greek yogurt dip.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, substitute nutritional yeast for Parmesan and use non-dairy yogurt in the dip. Do not overmix the meatball mixture for best texture. Wet hands when shaping meatballs to prevent sticking. Meatballs can be made ahead and reheated. Freeze cooked meatballs for up to 3 months.
