Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup (finely chopped) Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (for greasing) Coconut oil or olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with coconut oil or olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands or a spatula to gently mix the ingredients until evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture to form each meatball. Roll the mixture between your palms to shape into smooth balls and place them on the greased baking sheet, evenly spaced.
Repeat until all the meat mixture is used up. You should have approximately 16 to 18 meatballs.
Bake the turkey meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm with your favorite paleo-friendly side dishes, such as zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or a simple green salad.
