1 ½ pounds 93% lean ground turkey
⅔ c panko bread crumbs
1 small shallot, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 egg, beaten
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ c fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
In a large bowl, gently mix the turkey, bread crumbs, shallot, egg, salt, pepper and parsley by hand until combined. Shape mixture into eighteen 1 1/2 inch meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the meatballs, flipping occasionally to make sure all sides are golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate when they are done.
To serve, place in a platter alongside your dipping sauce of choice, think: marinara, alfredo, Thai peanut, blue cheese, etc.
