Caprese Meatballs (Low Carb & Gluten Free)

• servings: 16 servings

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

1 egg

1/4 cup almond flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella

2 Tbsp sun dried tomatoes, chopped

2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped

2 Tbsp olive oil for frying

Directions

Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a medium bowl, and mix thoroughly. Form into 16 meatballs. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick saute pan. Add the meatballs to the hot oil about 1 inch apart (you may have to do two batches) and cook over low/medium heat for about 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Because the cheese melts out a bit, be careful that they don’t burn – if they appear to be getting dark quickly, then turn down the heat and cook them at a lower temp. Serve alone, with marinara sauce, or on skewers with fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, and cherry tomatoes. Enjoy!
