⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
1 oz parmesan cheese, finely grated (about ¼ cup)
Chef's tip
Match the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving. If the recipe melts the cheese, choose a product labeled meltable.
1 large egg
2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp kosher salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten free breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork. Roll into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (roughly 24 meatballs) and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
