Ingredients

• 1 cup almond meal (or bread crumbs if preferred)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons salt and pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2/3 cup finely chopped parsley
• 8 large size garlic cloves, minced
• 2 pounds 93% lean ground turkey (I do not recommend using anything leaner for this recipe, or your meatballs may be dry!)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. To make the meatballs, add the almond flour, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl and stir together.
3. Beat the eggs and stir them into the bowl.
4. Stir in your parsley, onion and garlic.
5. Now add your turkey and mix together just enough to get everything evenly distributed.
6. Use a 1 1/2-inch scoop to scoop the meatballs (be sure the meat mixture is firmly pressed into the scoop). Place them evenly spaced on a parchment lined sheet pan. (You can also spray some cooking spray on your hands and roll them if you prefer. It takes a little longer so I don't bother.)
7. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes.  Serve warm as part of your entree.
8. To freeze, allow the meatballs to cool completely.  Then freeze in one large freezer bag or divide into portions in smaller freezer bags.

Recipe Notes

This recipe calls for 93% lean ground turkey meat.  I have tested this recipe many times and found that turkey leaner than 93% will produce dry meatballs!  So be sure to use ground turkey that is 93% lean or less.
