Method
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with oven-safe parchment. Brush it with half the olive oil.
- Combine the panko and milk in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes while you mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
- Stir the egg, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper into the soaked crumbs. Add the cold turkey and mix gently just until evenly combined.
- Divide into 16 equal portions and gently roll into balls, roughly 1 1/2 inches across. Arrange with space between them and lightly brush the tops with the remaining oil. Wash hands and clean surfaces that contacted raw poultry.
- Bake for about 18–22 minutes, checking early if your meatballs are smaller. Insert a thermometer into the center of several, including the largest; every checked meatball must reach at least 165°F. Continue baking as needed.
- Serve four meatballs per person with your chosen sides. Refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers within 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F.
