A delightful twist on classic turkey meatballs, featuring a blend of cheeses and aromatic spices.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey and the egg until well blended.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cheese blend, and breadcrumbs to the mixture and mix until evenly distributed.
Adjust the breadcrumb amount to achieve a consistency that holds together when shaped.
Shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls and set them aside on a plate.
Using slightly wet hands can help prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the meatballs to achieve a good sear.
Cook the meatballs in the skillet, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the meatballs with your choice of sauce or as a standalone dish. Enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added flavor and presentation.
