I could have easily posted the site where I got the recipe, but I modified mine so much that I thought I'd share the blog where I got it, but also my version. Because seriously, that's what I do best. Take a recipe and add or change it to fit to my liking! Seriously the only way to cook. It's not fun following the rules! :)
When I cook a lot of times I have an idea in mind of what I want to make (I knew I wanted to make meatballs with almond flour in them, cause I LOVE almond flour) and when I googled that this recipe came up. I tweaked a little, and added a little. Seriously, you will love these! If you don't have almond flour I'm sure you can leave it out, but I don't think it will be the same.
ENJOY!

Paleo Turkey Meatballs
Yield: 16 meatballs - I would recommend making a double batch. That's what I did and I was SO happy to have leftovers!
1 lb ground turkey (I buy my turkey from Sam's and the packages are 2lbs so that's why I doubled)
1/2 cup almond flour (YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!)
2 Egg Whites
1 small red onion (because that's what I had!)
1/2 cup baby carrots, grated
Garlic Salt - I just threw it in there. I used that because I didn't have garlic
Dried Parsley and Basil - I did not have fresh. I just threw a bunch in there!
Fresh black pepper to taste
Turkey Bacon - The recipe did not call for turkey bacon, but it sounded soooo good. So I went out on a limb!
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Chop up the veggies and throw them in your blender.
3. Add everything into a bowl (because I'm too impatient to add the ingredients separately! Just throw it all in there!)
4. Use your hands to mix everything together
5. Form meat mixture into meatballs with your hands and place on a cookie sheet that you have sprayed
6. Cut your strips of thawed turkey bacon in half and put 1 half on top of each meatball
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
You will be drooling the whole time it is cooking because it smells to delicious! Seriously, I can't wait to make these again. We ate them with salad and it was perfect!
Hope you like them!
