  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, Panko crumbs, egg, onions, celery, carrot and garlic, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, mix until combined. Roll the mixture (⅛ level cup each, into 28 round meatballs.
  • Place meatballs onto the baking sheet and bake until cooked through and golden, about 16 to 18 minutes.
