1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2 Add eggs, cottage cheese, pesto, and garlic to a large bowl. Whisk with a fork to combine.
3 Add breadcrumbs, ground turkey, onion, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper, and mix gently with your hands until combined.
4 Let mixture stand for 5 to 10 minutes to hydrate breadcrumbs; shape into 1 1/2 ounce meatballs. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until an instant read thermometer inserted near the center reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 15 to 18 minutes.
