Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, grated cheddar cheese, chopped pickles, finely minced onion, ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Using your clean hands, mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. I find that using my hands helps mix the ingredients more evenly and makes for juicier meatballs.

Shape the meat mixture from Step 2 into 1-2 inch meatballs, depending on your preferred size. Arrange the formed meatballs evenly on the parchment-lined baking dish.

Place the baking dish with the meatballs in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve the meatballs warm. To make them even more delicious, I sometimes sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese on top for the last 5 minutes of baking.
