1/2 pound ground turkey |
2 tablespoons chopped onion |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place 2 bread slices in a food processor; process 30 seconds or until crumbs are fine. Combine the breadcrumbs, beef, and next 8 ingredients (beef through egg) in a bowl. Shape mixture into 24 (1-inch) meatballs. Place meatballs on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 17 minutes or until browned.
