SEASONED TURKEY MEATBALLS


INGREDIENTS
2 lbs. ground turkey
2 eggs
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
½ medium sized purple onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely diced
¼ cup almond flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Coconut oil (for frying)

INSTRUCTIONS
1.  Prep all ingredients ahead of time.

2.  Place skillet under medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil.

3.  Once oil has melted, add onions and cook until translucent (about 3 minutes).

4.  Add in red and green bell peppers the skillet (about 3 minutes).

5.  Add in garlic and sauté (about 3 minutes).

6.  Pour onion/pepper/garlic combination into a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.

7.  In a separate bowl, and using a wooden spoon, combine turkey, eggs, sea salt, black pepper, almond flour and the (already cooled off) onion/pepper/garlic mixture.

8.  Line parchment paper on your counter.

9.  Grab a handful of your mixture and form little meatballs (1 ½” x 1 ½”); place meatballs neatly on the parchment paper.

10.  Place skillet under medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Once oil has melted, place six meatballs in your skillet and cover skillet with a lid. Let meatballs cook for about 4 minutes (bottoms should get golden brown).

11.  After one side of the meatballs has cooked for 4 minutes, open the lid and using your tongs, turn meatballs around to let the other side cook (be sure to close the lid again). Cook for another 4 minutes or until golden brown.

12.  Repeat steps 10-11 until you’ve cooked all the meatballs.

13.  Enjoy meatballs by themselves or accompany them with cauliflower/parsnip mash.
