2. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
3. Form the Meatballs: Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the Meatballs: Place the meatballs in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
