Instructions
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (or use a rimmed baking sheet that will not stick).
In a large bowl add: 2 pounds lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup almond flour, 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 2 teaspoons granulated garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
Mix the ingredients with your hands or a sturdy spatula until evenly incorporated, taking care not to overwork the meat.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 2-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 20–22 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest 3–5 minutes before serving.
