Ingredient Notes
- Ground Turkey: I recommend not choosing the leanest ground turkey option for this recipe because a bit of fat helps create more tender, flavorful meatballs.
- Parmesan Cheese: Finely grated parmesan is the best way to adds a salty touch and help bind the meatballs together.
Variations
- Ground chicken makes a good substitute for ground turkey.
- Add seasonings to match the flavor you are looking for! Red pepper flakes add a spicy flavor. A bit of onion powder creates an even more savory flavor.
- Freshly chopped parsley, oregano, and/or basil can be used to add a fresh, herbal touch.
How to Make Ground Turkey Meatballs
- Combine the ground turkey with the egg, seasonings, almond flour, and Parmesan.
- Gently mix just until everything is evenly combined.
- Portion and roll the mixture into meatballs.
- Arrange on a baking sheet and bake (full recipe below).
Save Some for Later
- Cool leftovers completely before storing in an airtight container, or freezer safe zipper bags.
- Refrigerate for up to 4 days, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw meatballs overnight in the refrigerator.
- To reheat in an oven, place meatballs in a baking dish, add a splash of broth or water, cover loosely with foil, and heat at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through.
- You can also heat small portions at short intervals in the microwave, using a stovetop skillet, or even an air fryer if a firmer texture is preferred.

Excellent! Can I use differnt flour?
This recipe has only been tested with almond flour so I can’t say for sure how another flour would work Miska.
