Directions

  1. Place torn bread in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer bread crumbs to a large bowl and add milk, set aside until bread is completely soaked.

  2. Place onion, red bell pepper, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, stir into bread mixture. Add turkey, egg, parsley, 1 tablespoon mustard, salt, and pepper to bread crumb mixture and mix well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

  4. Shape turkey mixture into 1-inch balls, arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until firm and cooked through, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let meatballs stand for 5 minutes.

  6. Mix yogurt, mayonnaise, and 4 teaspoons mustard together in a bowl, serve alongside meatballs.

Recipe Note

For a break from beef, try these tender turkey meatballs. Don't use extra-lean turkey breast;it dries out too easily.
