Ingredients & Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for keto turkey meatballs. Scroll down to the recipe card for full ingredients list and instructions.

Ground turkey is great for meatballs! Use a higher fat content for more juicy meatballs. As an example, 85% lean (15% fat) will create more juicy meatballs than 99% lean (1% fat). Substitute with ground beef, ground pork, or ground chicken if needed.

The egg helps bind the meatballs together. There is no substitute for the egg in this recipe.

Almond flour is a great low carb option. It gives these low carb meatballs some substance. In addition, almond flour creates a slightly nutty flavor. I do not recommend a replacement.

Garlic powder and onion powder add great flavor. Feel free to adjust amounts to suit your taste.

A little sea salt and pepper go a long way!
