Baked Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef, 90% lean (or ground turkey)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup milk, 1% (or non-fat)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients, shape into balls (about 24 meatballs)
2. Arrange on baking sheets that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes. It is best to use a food safety thermometer to check for doneness (it should read 160°F for ground beef and 165°F for ground turkey).
4. If meatballs are being saved for future use, chill rapidly; package in amounts needed per meal and freeze immediately.
