Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated without overmixing which can make the meatballs tough.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, you should get about 16 meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches if necessary, and sear them on all sides until they are golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
Once the meatballs are seared, transfer them back to the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite keto-friendly sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
