Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp basil, finely chopped
- spaghetti squash, to serve
- Whole30 marinara sauce, to serve
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Use your hands or a spoon, combine ingredients.
- Once combined, spray hands with nonstick spray. Use an ice cream scoop or hands to form 1 inch round meatballs.
- Continue for remaining meatball mixture. Place meatballs on parchment lined pan.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through and no pink remains. If meatballs are on the smaller side, check after 15 minutes.
- Remove meatballs from oven. Discard excess cooking grease.
- Warm up marinara sauce. Serve with spaghetti squash and sauce if desired!
Notes
- Use a rimmed baking pan lined with parchment paper for easier clean up.
- Choose ground turkey that isn't too lean. I recommend using 85% fat or even less. Anything more than 85% will be too dry.
- When combining ingredients, try not to overwork the meat mixture.
- Spray hands with nonstick spray before forming meatballs. This helps them not stick to your hands.
- If meatball mixture is still too sticky, place it in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Ground turkey is done cooking when it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Store meatballs in freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw before reheating and eating.
- Warm up Whole30 marinara sauce before tossing with meatballs.
- Nutritional value does not include sauce or spaghetti squash.
- This recipe makes about 10 medium sized meatballs or 15 small sized meatballs.
