These easy baked turkey meatballs are moist, bursting with flavor, and super quick + easy. All you need is one bowl, one pan, and 30 minutes! Delicious as is or served over pasta (or zucchini noodles!) for a weeknight spaghetti and meatballs. I love that all this recipe requires is throwing all the ingredients into one bowl, mixing it together, forming it into meatballs, then letting your oven do the rest of the work! It seriously only takes ten minutes of actual prep work.

Simple + delicious

This is one of those versatile recipes you can come back to again + again. While these meatballs have so much flavor + are perfectly seasoned, they are neutral enough to go well with pretty much anything! So you can transform this recipe into a completely different dish depending on what you serve it with.

We have had it with traditional spaghetti and homemade zoodles, and both are delicious. And you can serve with any sauce you like— marinara, vodka sauce, alfredo, a homemade cream sauce…the options are endless! And the beauty is that these are also delicious all on their own.
