Ingredients for One-Pan Balsamic Glazed Turkey Meatballs with Green Beans

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep meatballs tender.
Form the mixture into 16 small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add turkey meatballs in a single layer and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked through. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
Add trimmed green beans to the same skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Return meatballs to the skillet with green beans and pour the balsamic glaze evenly over the top.
Cook and gently stir for 2-3 minutes until glaze thickens slightly and coats meatballs and green beans evenly.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley.
