2 lbs ground turkey (900 g)
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
1 egg
½ tsp. Italian seasoning, chopped
2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. garlic, minced
1 tsp. crushed red chili pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
1 stick unsalted butter
½ lemon, freshly juiced
½ tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
½ tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
½ tsp. fresh sage, chopped
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked
1 tsp. hot sauce, such as; Sriracha
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C/180°C fan, Gas Mark 6). Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine ground turkey, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, onion powder, garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed chili pepper flakes in a large salad bowl. Use a cookie scoop to form the turkey meatballs all the same size and arrange the turkey meatballs in the baking dish.

Bake your turkey meatballs for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the baked turkey meatballs from the oven and drain the excess fat with a spoon, if necessary.

In the meantime, make garlic butter herb sauce: melt butter in the microwave by 30 seconds increments, until completely melted. Add lemon juice, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, sage, minced garlic, hot sauce, salt, and pepper to the melted butter and stir well.

Drizzle the baked turkey meatballs with the garlic butter herb sauce and sprinkle with grated parmesan if you like. Return the turkey meatballs in the oven and finish baking for 5-10 minutes, making sure not to dry up the meatballs.

Remove from the oven and serve the baked turkey meatballs with a side salad or over cauliflower rice as pictured.
