Description

These deliciously dairy-free meatballs are feature soy milk, oats, and an easy Parmesan cheese substitute.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 pound ground turkey
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup non-dairy Parmesan cheese substitute
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
coarsely ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Drizzle olive oil over a rimmed baking sheet.
2 Combine milk and oats in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until milk is very hot, but not boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is the consistency of oatmeal, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
3 Combine turkey, egg, Parmesan cheese substitute, parsley, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper in a large bowl. Add cooled oatmeal mixture. Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until well combined. Form into 28 meatballs and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
4 Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway, until cooked through and evenly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
