Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground turkey
• 1 medium, finely grated Carrot
• 1 medium, finely grated Zucchini
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for greasing the steamer basket) Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated carrot, grated zucchini, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, almond flour, egg, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Form the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, using your hands.

Step 3

Lightly grease the surface of your steamer basket with olive oil, if desired, to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place a pot with about 2-3 inches of water over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil. Position the steamer basket over the pot, ensuring it does not touch the water.

Step 5

Arrange the turkey meatballs in the steamer basket, leaving a small amount of space between each to allow for even cooking.

Step 6

Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Carefully remove the meatballs from the steamer basket and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Paleo steamed turkey meatballs with a side of fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo-friendly meal.
