Ingredients

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 largeegg, lightly beaten
  • ½ cuppanko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cuppre-grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cupwhole milk
  • 3 tablespoonsolive oil
  • 1 tablespoonchopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 ½ teaspoonskosher salt
  • 1 teaspoonground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoongarlic powder
  • 1 teaspoonworcestershire sauce
  • 1 poundground chicken or turkey (light and dark meat, if available)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place an oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, stir together the egg, panko, parmesan, milk, oil, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce until just combined. Let rest for 5 minutes. Using your hands, gently mix in the ground chicken until just combined. Don’t overmix or the meatballs will be tough. The mixture should be soft and sticky.

  3. 3

    Scoop up a rounded 2 tablespoons (a #30 portion scoop if you have one) of the chicken mixture, roll it into a ball between your palms, and set it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture. You will have about 17 meatballs. If your hands get sticky, moisten them with water as you go.

  4. 4

    Broil the meatballs until golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F), 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, under the broiler, or in a skillet, turning the meatballs a few times to brown and reheat them evenly.
