4

Form Meatballs

Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into small, even-sized meatballs. Aim for about 1-inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a plate.

5

Heat Skillet

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly. Be careful, the pan may be hot!

6

Cook Meatballs

Carefully place the meatballs into the hot skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

7

Whisk Eggs

While the meatballs are cooking, lightly whisk the remaining 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl.

8

Cook Eggs

Once the meatballs are cooked, reduce the heat to low, and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Scramble or cook the eggs to your liking. Be careful as the skillet will still be hot.

9

Serve and Garnish

Serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh parsley, if desired.

Recipe Tips

  • Use a food processor to chop the onions and parsley if you have one.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture.
  • If you don’t have bread crumbs, you can substitute with crushed crackers or rolled oats.
  • To store leftovers, keep the meatballs and eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Ensure the turkey meatballs are fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to prevent foodborne illness.
  • When forming the meatballs, wet your hands slightly to prevent the meat mixture from sticking to your palms.
  • If you don't have a skillet, a large frying pan will also work well.
