Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic.
2
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the chopped parsley. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
3
Shape the mixture into medium-sized meatballs. Heat the sunflower oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4
Cook the meatballs over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
5
Meanwhile, prepare the steamed rice: bring 500 ml of water to a boil, then add the rice and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
6
Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7
Serve the turkey meatballs with the freshly steamed rice, garnished with fresh parsley.
