Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1/3 cup almond flour or oat flour¹
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 pound ground turkey or vegeterian beef
• 1 egg

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle the oil across the paper (use your fingers to spread evenly).
2. In a large bowl, combine the parmesan, flour, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey and egg and use your hands to combine. Set aside or 15 minutes to absorb moisture.
3. Use a spoon to scoop and your hands to form the meat into golf-ball sizes, about 16 total meatballs. Place the meatballs evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip each meatball, and return to the oven for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are crispy and lightly browned. Cut open a meatball to check for doneness (no pink).
5. Optional: Simmer in marinara sauce and serve on top of pasta.
