Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup finely diced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or gluten-free tamari
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, for brushing tops

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, almond flour, diced onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, coconut aminos, and water.
  • Using clean hands or a spoon, gently mix the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls about 1½ inches in diameter. Place the meatballs evenly on the prepared baking sheet. With a pastry brush, lightly brush olive oil over the top of each meatball.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Serve the turkey meatballs warm with marinara sauce, gluten-free pasta, roasted vegetables, or zucchini noodles if desired.

Notes

Storage: Allow meatballs to cool then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheat: Add the meatballs to a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-low heat. Cover with a lid and cook, turning the meatballs occasionally, until piping hot throughout - 8-10 minutes.
