Ingredients
Turkey Meatballs
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Mushroom Sauce
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms cremini or button
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparing the Turkey Meatballs:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, almond flour, grated Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Shape the mixture into meatballs, approximately one inch in diameter. The secret to not having dry meatballs, is not to over work the shaping of the meatballs. Try tossing them back and forth into your hands to get the round shape.
- Place the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Cook the Turkey Meatballs:
- While the meatballs are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Once baked, transfer the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they’re evenly spaced. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the Mushroom Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add butter over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped shallot until softened.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
- Sprinkle in a little almond flour and stir, allowing it to absorb excess moisture.
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and coconut aminos. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Simmer:
- Gently place the baked turkey meatballs into the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce.
- Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, letting them soak up the savory flavors.
Serve and Garnish:
- Spoon the meatballs and mushroom sauce onto a serving platter.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan.
