Low-Carb Turkey Meatballs (Keto and Gluten-Free)

from ButterYum

makes 60 meatballs

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground turkey

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup finely ground almond flour, sifted

  • 1/2 cup ground parmesan cheese

  • 1/3 cup water

  • 2 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

  • olive oil for frying

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or by hand), combine the eggs, almond meal, parmesan, water, parsley, salt, garlic powder, pepper, crushed red pepper, and oregano until well mixed; add ground turkey and mix until evenly combined.

  2. Roll turkey mixture into 60 meatballs - I like to do this with a #50 portion scoop (like this one).

  3. Heat about 1/2-inch of olive oil in a skillet and fry meatballs, in batches, until golden brown all over and cooked through, turning as needed.

Meatballs can also be baked in a 400F oven for 10-15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165F.
