Instructions

  • Position an oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • If needed, crumble the feta into small pieces. Beat the egg in a small bowl.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, crumbled feta, beaten egg, minced parsley, coconut flour, minced fresh mint, garlic powder, ground basil, ground oregano, cumin, ground dill, ground thyme, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.
  • Mix the ingredients with your hands or a spoon until just combined and evenly distributed—do not overwork the meat.
  • Using a heaping 1-tablespoon cookie scoop or a tablespoon measuring spoon, portion the mixture and roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth ball. (If the mixture sticks, lightly wet your hands.)
  • Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. You should get about 20 meatballs.
  • Bake on the center rack until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reads 165°F, about 12–15 minutes.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest 2–3 minutes before serving. Serve with desired condiments.
