- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.
- Cook the Meatballs: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
