These Italian Turkey Meatballs are flavorful and moist! They're bound together with oatmeal (no breadcrumbs), gluten-free, dairy-free, and very easy to make with only 8 ingredients in under 30 minutes. They can be cooked on the stovetop or baked in the oven.
Marinara Sauce: Choose your favorite sauce, or you can substitute whole milk for the pasta sauce.
Worcestershire Sauce. BBQ sauce is a good substitute.
Garlic Powder. 2 teaspoons minced garlic is a good substitute for garlic powder.
Onion Powder. ¼ cup finely diced onion is a good substitute for the onion powder.
Quick Cooking Oatmeal. The oatmeal is the binder in this recipe. You can use oat flour by putting the oats into a blender and blending them into oat flour (it takes 5 seconds)! If you'd prefer to use oat flour, you can grind up old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking. Or you can substitute breadcrumbs for the oats.
Sun-Dried Tomatoes. You can use either sun dried tomatoes that are packed in oil or dried, just be sure to not add too much extra oil.
Fresh Basil. Fresh is the best, but dried works in a pinch.
