0 Preheat the oven to 375°F.
1 Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside. (You can also place a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet to prevent the meatballs from sitting in their juices, if you'd like to do this. I used to, but the clean up of the cooling rack makes me crazy, so I forgo it now.)
2 In a large bowl, measure out [wprm-ingredient text="1 lb. ground turkey" uid="0"], [wprm-ingredient text="⅓ cup breadcrumbs" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 egg" uid="2"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon kosher salt" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper" uid="4"], [wprm-ingredient text="¾ teaspoon dried basil" uid="5"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 ¼ teaspoon dried oregano" uid="6"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 medium onion" uid="7"] (chopped) and [wprm-ingredient text="1 garlic clove" uid="8"] (chopped).
3 Use your hands to mix the ingredients until incorporated.
4 Once the meatball ingredients are combined, form palm-sized meatballs (with your hands or with a cookie scoop) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5 Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes or until cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
6 Toss with your favorite marinara sauce and serve with pasta or serve alongside it as an easy appetizer.
