I have abandoned fatty ground beef in favor of healthier options such as ground chicken and turkey. I can ensure with the perfect additions, these will not be bland nor dry - you will not be missing the beef here.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 eggs , lightly beaten
  • 0.25 cups roasted garlic light cream cheese
  • 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Combine the chicken, eggs, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Form mixture into 20 meatballs; place on prepared pan.

  3. 3

    Bake in center of preheated oven until juices run clear, 17 to 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
