GRAIN-FREE GREEK TURKEY MEATBALLS
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey preferably dark meat
- 2 medium-size garlic cloves grated finely (I use a medium-grate Microplane for this)
- ½ cup finely grated red onion I do this in a mini food processor and process until it is like wet onion paste
- ⅓ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves chopped finely
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint or 1½ tablespoons dried
- 4 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1½ tablespoons unrefined cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons shoyu tamari, or coconut aminos
- 1¼ teaspoons sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- Mix together all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl.
- Form 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture into a ball & place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until cooked through. (If you’re not sure, stick a meat thermometer in the center of a meatball and it should register 165°F. Otherwise, cut one open and make sure it is no longer pink in the center.)
- Serve the meatballs with feta or tzatziki sauce in a lettuce wrap or with pita, with spaghetti sauce with roasted cauliflower or in a bowl with cooked rice and vegetables.
