Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 whole large egg
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, coconut aminos, sea salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, mix all ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter, using about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each ball. You should have approximately 18-20 meatballs.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil and heat until shimmering.
Add the meatballs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the meatballs on all sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
Once all the meatballs are seared, place them all back into the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the meatballs hot with your choice of paleo-friendly side dishes, such as zoodles or cauliflower rice.
