Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 450°F (230°C) and drizzle some olive oil over a rimmed baking sheet to keep the meatballs from sticking. In a small saucepan, combine the milk and oats and warm them over medium heat. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally until the milk is really hot but not boiling, then lower the heat and let it simmer until it thickens up to a creamy oatmeal-like consistency, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Take it off the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the turkey, egg, Parmesan substitute, parsley, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper. Once your oat mixture has cooled, add it to the bowl and stir everything until it’s nicely combined. Shape the mixture into about 28 meatballs and place them evenly on your prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Pop the tray into the oven and bake the meatballs for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through so they brown evenly and cook all the way through. Once they’re nicely browned and cooked, they’re ready to enjoy!

Cook's tip
