Burgers are great, but sometimes you gotta mix things up – and one of my favorite ways to do that is to make meatballs.

Plus, if you’re sick of same-old-same-old ground turkey and chicken, you can dress them up with some tasty “extra” meatball ingredients to spice things up!

Serve them with potato, rice, veggies… or even as a warm salad topper or sandwich filling.

Turkey Meatballs

(makes 16 meatballs – 3 to 4 servings)

• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

• ½ bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), finely chopped

• ⅓ cup (35 g) almond flour

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp sea salt

• 1 lb (450 g) lean ground turkey or chicken

• 2 Tbsp coconut aminos 

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

Preheat your oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or coating it with 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the onion, bell pepper, almond flour, garlic powder, and salt. Add the turkey or chicken, and coconut aminos, and stir again until all the ingredients are combined.

Form into 16 meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Enjoy!

Make it an amazing day,
