Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • ¾ pound ground turkey

  • ½ pound chicken sausage, casings removed

  • ⅔ cup gluten-free bread crumbs

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

  • 3 tablespoons milk

  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Combine ground turkey, chicken sausage, bread crumbs, basil, milk, garlic, Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper in a bowl; mix gently with a fork. Drop mixture, about 1 1/4-inch diameter per meatball, onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

Substitute 2 teaspoons garlic powder for the minced garlic, if desired.

You can use 1 and 1/4 pounds of whatever ground meat you prefer rather than the ground turkey mixed with sausage. You could also try different spices.
