Turkey Meatballs (Protein)

Whether you're a fitness enthusiast looking to increase your protein intake or simply seeking a nutritious and flavourful meal, these protein-packed turkey meatballs are a nutritious choice.

Meatballs:
1 lb ground turkey
½ cup (2 scoops) vanilla whey protein powder (39 g)
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, freshly grated
1 tsp. dried oregano
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground

To Serve:
Protein Tomato Sauce

Garnish:
Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Preheat an oven to 375°F (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, protein powder, Parmesan cheese, garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Gently mix everything together until well combined.

Roll the turkey mixture into small meatballs, about 1-2" in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.

Garnish with Parmesan and serve with a protein-enriched tomato sauce, if desired.
