Description
Juicy, high-protein turkey meatballs made with almond meal and fresh herbs. Perfect for batch cooking and weekly meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup almond meal (or bread crumbs if preferred)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 large eggs
1 small onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup finely chopped parsley
8 large garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds 93% lean ground turkey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix almond meal, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Beat eggs in a small bowl, then stir into the dry mixture.
- Stir in the chopped parsley, onion, and minced garlic.
- Add ground turkey. Mix just until all ingredients are evenly distributed; do not overmix.
- Using a 1.5-inch scoop, firmly pack the meat mixture to form meatballs. Place evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown.
- Let cool completely before storing or freezing for meal prep.
Notes
- For best results, use 93% lean ground turkey. Leaner meat can yield dry meatballs.
- To freeze: Cool meatballs completely, then flash-freeze on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag.
- Meatballs will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
