Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • ½ lb. ground turkey
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾–1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh Italian herbs, finely chopped (oregano, basil, and/or parsley)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  3. Add the ground beef and turkey to a large mixing bowl and gently combine.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients and mix just until everything is evenly incorporated. Avoid overworking the mixture.
  5. Scoop the meat mixture using a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop. Roll portions between your hands to form smooth balls and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on the size of the meatballs, until they are browned and fully cooked with no pink in the center.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite pasta sauce, or allow to cool completely and freeze for later use.
Notes
Cooking time will vary based on the size of your meatballs. Smaller cocktail meatballs may cook in as little as 15 minutes, while larger meatballs can take up to 30 minutes.
