Chef's tipBrown it just like ground meat, using the same amount. It's leaner than turkey, so add a little oil to the pan to keep it from sticking. - ⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
- 1 oz parmesan cheese, finely grated (about ¼ cup)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

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.
