Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and artichoke hearts and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent and lightly golden at the edges, 5–7 minutes.
3. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and let cool for 5–10 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, the cooled onion–artichoke mixture, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently just until evenly combined.
5. Form the mixture into about equal-sized meatballs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F, about 15–20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
