Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and milk. Gently mix everything together using your hands or a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meat tender.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, placing them on a tray or plate. Keep them uniform for even cooking and a tidy appearance.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering and fragrant. Carefully add the meatballs in batches, avoiding overcrowding, and brown them on all sides for about 3-4 minutes. You want a golden crust that adds flavor and texture.
Transfer the browned meatballs to a baking sheet lined with parchment or a non-stick mat. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until they are cooked through and have an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). The outside will be golden and slightly crispy, while the inside remains moist and tender.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping each bite juicy and flavorful.
Serve your juicy turkey meatballs hot, garnished with extra parsley or your favorite sauce. They pair wonderfully with pasta, a fresh salad, or even on their own for a satisfying bite.
