Description
Easy and versatile meatballs that bake instead of fry
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper
- Combine ground turkey and almond flour, then add pesto, salt, and pepper
- Scoop out uniform-sized balls of meat mixture onto baking sheet, and bake for 25 minutes
Notes
Vary the type of pesto depending on how you plan to serve the meatballs:
- basil pesto compliments Italian-style red sauce
- kale pesto is a bit earthier in flavor and goes nicely with pasta and garlic butter
- cilantro-pesto has a great “zing” and is our favorite for making these ground turkey meatballs
Have fun, and experiment!
