Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chopped basil, parsley or dill
• 1/2 medium red onion
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes canned in oil, drained
• 1 pound lean ground turkey (or chicken)
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
• 1 tablespoon canola oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

To make the meatballs, mix together ground meat with herbs, diced onion, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, panko, egg, crushed garlic (or minced cloves), 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper. Start with 1/2 cup of panko and add more if the mixture looks too wet. Roll meatballs, about 1.5″ in diameter.

Place a cooling rack into a baking sheet and keep that next to your meatball searing station.

Heat a non-stick frying pan, saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Add meatballs to heated oil. Sear meatballs until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Move meatballs to the cooling rack when seared. Repeat if you had to split the meatballs into more than 1 batch.

Place meatballs in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
