This recipe was inspired by the Green Goddess seasoning I recently picked up at Trader Joe’s. Serve with spaghetti squash and marinara. Or these make for a great protein on a salad with green goddess dressing. Consider doubling the recipe and freezing half for later.

I prefer ground turkey over red meat as it is leaner and yet still an excellent source of iron and protein. I use almond flour in place of bread crumbs to add moisture, protein, and keep it low carb.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
• 1 egg, whisked
• 1 TBSP Green Goddess seasoning (Trader Joe’s)
• 1/3 cup almond flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/4 cup goat feta (optional)

• 1-2 TBSP avocado oil for brushing the top of the meatballs

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix well.
3. Shape the meatballs and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the meatballs with avocado oil.
4. Bake for 20 minutes.
