Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 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
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Lightly coat your hands with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, then form the mixture into approximately 16 small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Brown the meatballs for about 2 minutes on each side until they have a golden-brown crust. This helps lock in the moisture and flavor.
Step 7
Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove from oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the meatballs with your choice of Whole30-approved side dish, such as zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
