Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

For Serving

  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the meatballs from sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Form Meatballs: Using clean hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
  5. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F (75°C), confirming they are safely cooked.
  6. Serve with Sauce: Heat the sugar-free marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Spoon the sauce over the meatballs when serving.
  7. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the meatballs for added color and fresh flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the meat mixture to keep the meatballs tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatballs are fully cooked.
  • Almond flour keeps these meatballs keto-friendly as a low-carb alternative to breadcrumbs.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mix.
  • These meatballs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
