4 servings
For the meatballs
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
Chef's tipFor each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies. - 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
For the finish
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
For serving
- fresh parsley, chopped, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and brush or drizzle 1 tbsp of the olive oil evenly over the surface.
