Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 gelatin egg for binding and added moisture or 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • Pinch of fresh grated nutmeg
  • 3 tablespoons coconut milk
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional, for extra seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder optional, for extra seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cassava flour, coconut milk powder, chopped parsley, basil, oregano, and nutmeg. If using, also add the garlic powder and onion powder.
  • Mix in the gelatin egg (or applesauce) and coconut milk. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet. If it's too dry, add a bit more coconut milk; if too wet, add a bit more cassava flour.
  • Add sea salt to taste and mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Shape the mixture into 1-2 inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have a nice golden color.
  • Allow the meatballs to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired.
