Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, almond flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until everything is well combined but do not overmix, as this could make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a meatball. Continue this process until all the mixture is used, placing each meatball onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Brush the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown and become crispy while baking.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or over pasta, rice, or a fresh salad for a hearty meal.
