Ingredients

• 1/2 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 pound lean ground turkey
• 1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons dried minced onion
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (I use jarred in for these)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. In a large bowl, with a spoon or with your hands, gently mix together all of the ingredients  until combined. With wet hands, form into 1 1/4-inch balls.

3. Place the meatballs onto an ungreased baking  sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until tops are browned and the meat is cooked through.
