This beloved family recipe, handed down by my German grandmother, has been treasured for generations.

These low carb herb-crusted turkey meatballs are a delightful twist on a classic comfort food. Growing up, meatballs were a staple at family gatherings, but as I've been trying to cut down on carbs, I wanted to create a version that still packed all the flavor without the guilt. This recipe is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty, protein-rich meal that's both satisfying and healthy. The combination of fresh herbs and a golden-brown crust makes these meatballs a hit at any dinner table.

These turkey meatballs pair beautifully with a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete low-carb meal. If you're not strictly watching carbs, consider serving them over a bed of cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles to soak up any sauce. A side of steamed broccoli or asparagus would also complement the flavors nicely, adding a pop of color and nutrition to your plate.

Servings: 4

1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture. You can also experiment with different herbs, such as basil or thyme, to change up the flavor profile. If you're not avoiding carbs, you can substitute the almond flour with traditional breadcrumbs for a more classic texture. These meatballs can also be made ahead of time and frozen for a quick meal option on busy nights.
