Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- 60 grams almond flour
- 30 grams grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 15 grams fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch (4 cm) balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 16-20 meatballs depending on size.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown nicely as they bake.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through. You can cut one open to check that it is no longer pink inside.
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs with your choice of side dish, such as a salad, whole grain pasta, or roasted vegetables, for a complete meal.
