Instructions
1
Preheat oven and oil pan
Start by heating your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly drizzle some olive oil on a baking sheet with a rim to keep the meatballs from sticking.
2
Warm and Simmer Oats
In a small saucepan, combine the milk and oats. Warm it over medium heat until the milk is really hot but not boiling. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens up to an oatmeal-like texture. Take it off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
3
Mix Turkey Meatball Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, egg, Parmesan cheese substitute, parsley, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper. Once the oat mixture has cooled, add it in and stir everything together with a sturdy spoon until it’s all well combined.
4
Shape and Bake Meatballs
Shape the mixture into about 28 meatballs and place them evenly on the oiled baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through so they brown nicely on all sides and cook through.

Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze cooked meatballs for up to 3 months; just thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep them moist.
