Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 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 ground turkey, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the meatballs tough.
Lightly coat your hands with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, then form the mixture into approximately 16 small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Brown the meatballs for about 2 minutes on each side until they have a golden-brown crust. This helps lock in the moisture and flavor.
Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs with your choice of Whole30-approved side dish, such as zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
