Healthy Turkey Swedish Meatballs

bread (toasted)

chickpeas (canned

lb turkey

tsp allspice

garlic powder

salt/pepper

olive oil

butter

almond flour (or flour of choice)

yogurt

beef broth

Lightly toast the bread and break into small pieces.

Mash the chickpeas in a food processor or with a fork.

Combine the bread, chickpeas, turkey, egg, nutmeg, allspice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.

Mix together and roll into meatballs (makes about 16-18 meatballs).

In a saucepan, add the olive oil and cook the meatballs over medium heat (covered) for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked (rotating every 5-7 minutes).

Remove the meatballs and set aside. 

Place the butter in the same saucepan and melt over medium heat.

Whisk in the almond flour until a &quot;paste&quot; is formed.

Immediately add in the yogurt and broth, then whisk until smooth.

Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and allow to simmer (whisking continuously) for about 7-10 minutes (or until sauce begins to reduce and thicken).

Remove from heat and allow the sauce to thicken.

Add in the meatballs, coating each one with the sauce.

Serve and enjoy or freeze for later!

4-Ingredient Baked Chicken Meatballs

Parmesan

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat with nonstick spray.

In a medium bowl, mix the ingredients together with clean hands. Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to measure out 2-tablespoon-size meatballs. Roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 24-26 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

(You can also make them smaller as 1 tablespoon balls and bake for 20-22 minutes.)

Serve warm or set aside to cool and freeze.

Hands-down the best baked turkey meatballs that are juicy and won’t fall apart! A slice of soaked toasted bread adds moisture to the meatballs and works with an egg and some good olive oil to bind the meat mixture together. Serve these ground turkey meatballs with salad, or in my rich homemade pasta sauce over pasta or rice. Also delicious as an appetizer to feed a crowd!

Turkey Meatballs with Spinach and Feta

baby spinach

bread

turkey

onion

feta cheese (crumbled)

egg (beaten)

parsley

mint

Kosher salt and black pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Toast the bread until just brown then transfer it to a bowl and add water to cover. Allow it to soak for about 5 minutes or until very tender. Discard the water and squeeze the bread very dry and crumble it a bit with your hands.

In a skillet heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Add the spinach and cook briefly over medium heat until just wilted. Remove from the heat and let cool briefly.

Make the meatball mixture. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, onions, garlic, crumbled feta, egg, parsley, and mint. Add the bread and wilted spinach. Season with a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Form the mixture into balls (golf ball size) and arrange them on a large lightly oiled sheet pan.

Bake in the heated oven for about 30 minutes or until fully cooked through.

Transfer to the top rack and turn the broiler on for just a couple of minutes or until the tops are browned.

Serve immediately with salad of your choice.

As a life-long mushroom-hater, I herby certify this as a fantastic recipe!! I used about a tablespoon of dried parsley instead of fresh and teaspoon of dried oregano instead of chives. I also substituted the flax meal with ground oats (a la my coffee grinder). Otherwise, I stuck to the recipe and I was not disappointed. Even my veggie-loathing husband tried them and liked them. I had mine with spaghetti squash and peas, delish! We will definitely be making these again!

Great favor, non mushroom-y taste. Family approved.

Total win. My mushroom hating husband said these were the best meatballs he'd ever had!

feta cheese

lemon

lemon juice

Tbsp. olive oil

Combine all meatballs ingredients (ground chicken through black pepper) in a large bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly mix and mash the mixture together. Scoop and roll into 24 mini meatballs. (If the meatballs are sticking while rolling, moisten your hands with a little water or olive oil.)

Heat 1 to 2 Tbsp. of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of meatballs and cook until golden, rotating to brown all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with second batch, adding more oil as needed.

Meanwhile, prepare Cucumber-Avocado Salad by combining all ingredients in a large bowl; mix well.

Serve meatballs over white rice with Cucumber-Avocado Salad and a big scoop of tzatziki. Drizzle components with a little olive oil and garnish with extra fresh dill (optional) and cracked black pepper.

Actually proper delicious. My fussy 12 year old gobbled them up, I don't say that lightly, she came back for thirds!!!

Delicious!  Warms up well the net day for lunch.  Light and fresh.

Hi! Love these meatballs but can these be baked? Frying them they separated for me and it was a bit of a mess. Otherwise loved them!

One of my favorite dishes I have made from this site. Absolutely love it &amp; made it at the fire station (as chicken burger patties instead), I was nervous how they would go over with the guys (I always try to cook healthier options). I was shocked when guys not only loved them, but took them home the next day afterwards.

Took me WAY LONGER than 30 minutes but it was still easy and delicious. Not hard, just not 30 minutes!

These are THEE meatballs of summer!! I wasn't sure how a meatball with no egg binder would hold up, but they were perfect in every way! We will make these again and again!

I’ve already made this recipe twice! The tzatziki is the perfection addition. Just delicious.

So delicious and easy!! These will be a staple for us!

I enjoyed this but felt it needed a bit more flavour. I would like to try this with coriander nest time. I also had some baby rocket which I added to the salad. And it was yummy!

These recipes are very great- they make me smile! 
My family loves them

These Baked Chicken Meatballs could not be easier, made with ground chicken and just a few pantry staples but they are SO flavorful and are delicious to eat plain, or in your favorite entrees!

Baked Chicken Meatballs

chicken (see note)

Italian seasoning

onion powder

red pepper flakes

salt

black pepper black pepper)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a rimmed baking sheet.

In a large bowl combine ground chicken, egg, panko, Italian seasoning/Herbs de Provence, garlic, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Mix ingredients well (I do this by hand).

Scoop mounds of the chicken mixture into your hands, then roll in your palms to shape into a ball.

Place chicken meatballs at least 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until outside is browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving plain, or in your favorite entrees.

The recipe for baked meatballs is indeed fantastic and the recipe is nicely explained here. I wish to try it, but as I have read that baking with ghee is a safer option than any other cooking oils, I want to cook the recipe with grass-fed ghee. Will it be a good idea friends?  Let me know your views also.

Omg! Delicious! I used ground beef because that’s what I had on hand. Super easy to make and very flavorful! Can’t wait to try it with ground chicken!
