Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground turkey
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Egg
- 50 g Almond flour
- 15 g Fresh parsley, chopped
- 30 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced garlic, egg, almond flour, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until everything is well incorporated.
Using a tablespoon or your hands, form small meatballs, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get about 18-20 meatballs.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.
Lightly brush the tops of the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown in the oven.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables, a low-sugar tomato sauce, or your favorite diabetic-friendly dip.
