Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, almond flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until everything is well combined but do not overmix, as this could make the meatballs tough.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a meatball. Continue this process until all the mixture is used, placing each meatball onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown and become crispy while baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or over pasta, rice, or a fresh salad for a hearty meal.
