Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground meat, eggs, seasonings and almond flour until well combined. 2 pounds ground beef, 1 pound ground turkey, 2 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 3/4 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onions, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup almond flour
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Form meatballs about 1 1/2"- 2" in diameter. There will be about 30 meatballs.
- Bake on a rimmed baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray (or a nonstick sheet) at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes.
- Pour the spaghetti sauce in a large saucepan and set it to medium heat. Add the meatballs. Heat the sauce through and allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for 20 minutes before serving. 6 cups Spaghetti Sauce
- You can also place the sauce and meatballs in a slow cooker set to low and allow them to simmer for 6-8 hours. This is our favorite way to prepare the meatballs.
- Serve the meatballs over spaghetti squash.
- If you don't need all the meatballs at once, you can allow the meatballs to cool and freeze them in ziploc bags.
Notes
- If you'd like, you can cook these meatballs in a large frying pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Turn the meatballs and brown them on all sides. Cook for 12-15 minutes until they are thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside. Add the spaghetti sauce directly to the saucepan and allow them to simmer for 20 minutes.
