Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large beaten egg, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then mix gently until just combined.
  2. Step 2: Shape the mixture into 16 small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches each, and place them evenly spaced on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (1/2-inch pieces) with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well coated. Spread the sweet potatoes around the meatballs on the baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning sweet potatoes halfway through, until meatballs are cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and sweet potatoes are tender with slightly crispy edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
