Yield: 4
Prep time: PT15M
Cook time: PT10M
Total time: PT25M

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey thighs (93% lean; ground turkey breast is too lean)
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ cup parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and parsley. Add the mayonnaise and mustard and mix to combine.
2. Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, measure out even portions of the mixture onto a plate. I usually end up with 16 meatballs.
3. With wet hands for easier handling, shape each portion into a round meatball.
4. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch lidded skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and becomes fragrant, about 2 minutes.
5. Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook them uncovered, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
6. Add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the skillet. Pour it in slowly and stand back a bit to avoid any splatter. Cover with the lid and cook until the meatballs are cooked through (their internal temperature should reach 165°F), about 3 more minutes.
7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the meatballs from the skillet to a serving plate. Serve immediately.
