Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F/ 220°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix: Place the ground turkey in a large bowl. Grate the onion and garlic cloves. Peel the apples and grate them as well. Add them to the meat together with the chopped herbs, grated Parmesan, lightly beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon of ground almonds, chili, salt, and pepper. Combine well, but don't overmix.1.5 lb ground turkey/ 750 g + 2 onions + 2 garlic cloves + 2 apples + 1 handful fresh parsley + 3-4 sprigs of fresh oregano + 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan + 2 eggs + 1 tablespoon of the ground almonds + ½ teaspoon chili powder + 1 ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Form the meatballs, about ¼ cup turkey mixture for each meatball. Press to flatten them slightly; they should now be about 2 inches/ 5 cm large. Coat them in the remaining 3 tablespoons of ground almonds. If necessary, use a little more ground almonds, but the coating should be light.
Sear the meatballs: Heat half of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan. Fry the turkey meatballs on medium-low heat in two batches for about 3-4 minutes, turning them a few times in between. Add the remaining oil and fry the second batch of low-carb turkey meatballs.2 tablespoons olive oil
Bake: Transfer them to the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
