Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the onion and garlic, and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, and coconut aminos.
Using your hands or a spatula, gently mix all the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Form the mixture into meatballs, using about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each meatball. You should make approximately 16 meatballs.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add meatballs in batches, searing each batch for about 2-3 minutes per side to brown them. Add more olive oil as needed.
Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Enjoy the meatballs on their own, with a side salad, or over a vegetable-based pasta like zucchini noodles.
