Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 whole large egg
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, coconut aminos, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Using your hands, mix all ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter, using about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each ball. You should have approximately 18-20 meatballs.
Step 5
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil and heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Add the meatballs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the meatballs on all sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 7
Once all the meatballs are seared, place them all back into the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve the meatballs hot with your choice of paleo-friendly side dishes, such as zoodles or cauliflower rice.
