Easy Homemade Meatballs are so tender and flavorful, you'd never know they take 30 minutes! Three kinds of meat make all the difference.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 36 meatballs 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz ground turkey
  • 16 oz ground beef
  • 8 oz ground pork
  • 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 bread slices (any bread works, however a hearty Italian or French bread is best.)
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 c fresh chopped basil
  • 1 tbsp parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the meat and mix until combined.
  2. In a smaller bowl, rip bread slices into 1/2 in pieces and top with milk and combine to wet bread. Allow bread to set for 5 minutes.
  3. Add mixture to meat along with remaining ingredients and combine until well mixed.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°.
  5. Using a dough scoop or 1/4 measuring cup, scoop mixture and form into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and place on a clean baking sheet to cool. They can then be served with your favorite accompaniment (like 15 minute tomato sauce) or frozen for future use.
