Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup baked sweet potato , tightly packed
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, sweet potato, salt, thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper. Use a fork to mix the ingredients until the mixture looks relatively uniform.
- Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop to portion the meatball mixture and drop it onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mix to create about 24-28 balls. Use wet hands to shape the balls, if needed. (Getting your hands damp will prevent sticking.)
- Bake the meatballs at 400ºF for 15 minutes, or until the center of the meatballs reaches 165ºF with an instant-read thermometer. The tops will not look golden, but the bottom of the meatballs (where they touched the pan) should be light brown.
- Serve the meatballs warm in your favorite sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
