Keto Turkey Meatballs

15 ratings

These turkey meatballs are tender on the inside and crisp on the outside! They’re exactly what you look for in a meatball. Instead of using ground beef, the ground turkey is very flavorful and juicy. The meatballs are bound together with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Enjoy the meatballs alone as a snack, as a topping with your zucchini noodles, or broken up over a healthy salad!

    In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the olive oil. You can use your hands or a spoon.

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on high heat. Once hot, place in the meatballs.
    Step 3

    Allow the turkey meatballs to cook in the oil until all sides are browned and crisped. Use a pair of tongs to gently rotate the meatballs for even cooking. The cooking process should take around 10 minutes.

    These meatballs were very delicious! Added them to my marinara sauce and served over zucchini noodles! Yummy!

      I want to add these to a sauce for dinner not just for snacking. I would love to add them to a Rao's sauce or my homemade sauce. Would that work?

      This is an amazing flavorful recipe. My ground turkey food usually tend to be dry so I added a tablespoon of cooled melted butter to the mix.

        Great taste! Cooked in air fryer. Made double batch for 6 adults. Will make again for sure.

          I wondered about doing that. If you don't mind: how long and at what temperature and setting?

        I made these meatballs without the parm cheese. Is there anyway to edit the recipe for correct macros? Thanks

          Yes. You can quick edit them from the menu. If you tell me what is incorrect then I can do it for you. I was looking for something to snack on in the car (8 hour drive) but 6 of these meatballs complete my fat requirements for 1 day! And if they are any good six is never enough. 30.5 g of fat albeit 9.1 saturated fats is a lot for three meatball. I also plugged the recipe into MyFitnessPal and the fat and protein count are correct.

        So Flavorful and moist. I added crushed chilli pepper instead of red pepper for heat. Definitely will make again. Thanks!

          These really wanted to stick to the pan and the fall apart while turning. Would probably be much easier cooked in the oven.
