Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the beaten egg, organic almond flour, organic Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the pasture-raised ground turkey to the bowl and gently mix with your hands until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  4. 4

    Form the mixture into 18 bite-sized meatballs, each roughly the size of a ping-pong ball, and space them evenly across the prepared baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Lightly brush the exterior of each meatball with the extra-virgin olive oil to encourage a golden, crispy crust.

  6. 6

    Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the meatballs are browned on top, sizzling, and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  7. 7

    Pour the organic marinara sauce into a small bowl and serve immediately alongside the hot turkey meatball bites.

Tip

Cooked meatball bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat them in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 4 to 5 minutes to restore their crisp exterior.
