Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground turkey

• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and garlic, and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, and coconut aminos.

Step 4

Using your hands or a spatula, gently mix all the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Form the mixture into meatballs, using about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each meatball. You should make approximately 16 meatballs.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once hot, add meatballs in batches, searing each batch for about 2-3 minutes per side to brown them. Add more olive oil as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 11

Enjoy the meatballs on their own, with a side salad, or over a vegetable-based pasta like zucchini noodles.
