Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium zucchini grated (about 2 cups)
  • ⅓ cup coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Mix all ingredients except olive oil in a medium bowl.
  • Drizzle olive oil on 1-2 rimmed baking pans.
  • Shape meat mixture into 21 meatballs and place on prepared baking pans.
  • Bake meatballs for 18 minutes or until done (165°F) and browned on outside.

Notes

Makes 21 meatballs (3 per serving).
Save the turkey meatballs for meal prep. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. This will prevent the meatballs from sticking to the cookie sheets.
Use a meat thermometer. Bake the meatballs until they reach an internal temperature of 165F.
