1.5 pounds ground turkey
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 medium onion, finely grated
1 tablespoon dried parsley
Olive oil, for the baking dish
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, garlic, onion, parsley, salt, and pepper
Mix thoroughly until just combined
