Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, almond flour, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix the ingredients until fully combined.
Step 3
Using a small ice cream scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. You should end up with about 20 meatballs. Place them evenly spaced on the lined baking sheet.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the fresh chopped parsley. Brush the top of each meatball with the parsley oil mixture, ensuring they are lightly coated. This will give the meatballs a nice flavor and help them brown in the oven.
Step 5
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Step 6
Remove the meatballs from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your choice of low-carb sides like zucchini noodles or a fresh salad.
Step 7
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired before serving.
