01 -
Get the oven heated to 190°C and cover a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 -
Put ground turkey, apple, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, sage, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper into a big bowl. Mix it up well so it all sticks together.
03 -
Roll the mix into balls about 3.8 cm (1 1/2-inch) wide using your hands. Spread them out on the lined tray so they’re not touching.
04 -
Pour olive oil over the meatballs to help them get that nice color while baking.

Pop the tray in the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs turn golden and reach 75°C inside.
06 -
Take them out and let them sit for a few minutes before digging in while still warm.
# Helpful Tips:

You can swap regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free ones to avoid gluten.
02 -
If you don’t have fresh sage, dried works too—about 1 teaspoon will do.
03 -
Try them with pasta sauce, rice, or just as a snack.
