Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup grated zucchini, squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Garlic Press
  • Grater
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop or spoon
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Gently mix with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough meatballs.
  3. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  4. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly browned. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is recommended.
  6. Let the meatballs cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the ingredients. Squeeze the zucchini well to remove excess moisture. Serve with marinara sauce and zucchini noodles for a classic keto-friendly meal. Meatballs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor.
