Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, rolled oats, egg, garlic, red onion, mint, parsley, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture or the meatballs will be dense.
2
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the oats to hydrate and the mixture to firm up, making it easier to shape.
