Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Instant Read Thermometer
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 2 ounces feta cheese, full-fat
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint minced
  • 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground basil
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground oregano
  • 0.75 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.75 teaspoon dill, ground
  • 0.75 teaspoon thyme, ground
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, crumbled feta, beaten egg, minced parsley, minced mint, coconut flour, garlic powder, basil, oregano, cumin, dill, thyme, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  • Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until the ingredients are evenly distributed but avoid overworking the meat.
  • Use a cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon to portion the mixture and roll each portion into a ball; you should get about 20 meatballs.
  • Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  • Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball registers 165°F (74°C), about 12–15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with desired condiments.

Notes

  • Measure coconut flour accurately; it absorbs a lot of moisture.
  • Do not overmix the meat to keep meatballs tender.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure doneness.
