Paleo Turkey Meatballs

Paleo Turkey Meatballs are the ultimate weeknight dinner! They're made with dark ground turkey, almond flour and spices, and covered in your favorite marinara sauce. Seared to perfection, then baked in the oven, this is my favorite gluten free meatball recipe!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Add all of the meatball ingredients (everything except the olive oil and marinara) to a large bowl, then use a spoon or your hands to mix everything together.
  • Form mixture into 16-18 meatballs, then place them into a large, oven-safe skillet, along with 1 teaspoon olive or avocado oil. Pan-sear the meatballs until they're browned on the outside, 3-4 minutes. Then, pour the marinara sauce over top.
  • Place the skillet in the oven and bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes. Remove skillet, then top the meatballs with additional parsley and/or red pepper flakes and enjoy!
