Who doesn’t love a good meatball? These are a staple for my meal prep Sunday’s because they go with almost anything. I like pairing mine with spaghetti squash “pasta,” making meatball sub sandwiches for Todd, having them in salads, or just with roasted veggies. The pairings are endless which makes having leftovers exciting and not boring. These also freeze well, so double to recipe and store some in your freezer for those day’s you just don’t feel like cooking!

What you will need:

  1. Ground turkey
  2. Pasture raised egg
  3. Almond flour
  4. Fresh parsley
  5. Zucchini
  6. Onion
  7. Fresh basil
  8. Fresh cilantro
  9. Minced garlic
  10. Cumin
  11. Smoked paprika
  12. Coriander
  13. Turmeric
  14. Salt + pepper

I never skimp on flavor with my recipes, therefore you will always see a variety of ingredients because FLAVORFUL healthy meals is where it is at. Don’t be alarmed with the amounts of ingredients needed, I promise these are super simple to prepare.

To save on time I like to add all my ingredients (minus the ground turkey, egg, almond flour, and spices) to my food processor for a quick chop. I then add to a bowl with my ground turkey, almond flour, egg, spices, and mix. I form into meatballs, heat my cast iron skillet with ghee, and cook my meatballs a couple minutes each side.

I store in an airtight container and during the workweek I will reheat by placing on a lined baking dish and baking 400 F for 10 minutes.
