Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup (finely chopped) Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (for greasing) Coconut oil or olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with coconut oil or olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Use your hands or a spatula to gently mix the ingredients until evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture to form each meatball. Roll the mixture between your palms to shape into smooth balls and place them on the greased baking sheet, evenly spaced.
Step 5
Repeat until all the meat mixture is used up. You should have approximately 16 to 18 meatballs.
Step 6
Bake the turkey meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the meatballs warm with your favorite paleo-friendly side dishes, such as zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or a simple green salad.
