A delightful twist on the classic breakfast ball recipe, these savory meatballs are packed with flavor and perfect for a quick, protein-rich start to your day.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork sausage, ground turkey, eggs, black pepper, and cheddar cheese until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Form the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a small ice cream scoop can help make evenly sized meatballs.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Allow the meatballs to cool slightly before serving or storing.
Letting the meatballs cool helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
