Instructions
Creating Deliciously Healthy Apple Cider Turkey Meatballs is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, apple cider, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix Thoroughly: Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients until well combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
4. Form Meatballs: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Rest: Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
