How to Make Sweet Potato Turkey Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  3. Cook sweet potatoes until tender (about 45 minutes in oven or microwave), peel, and mash thoroughly. Let cool slightly.
  4. Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the bowl with the other ingredients and mix until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the ground turkey and maple syrup. Season generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
