turkey meatballsLooking for a super easy family mid-week meal? This is a great one!

Turkey meatballs (AIP options)

  • 500g turkey mince
  • 1/2 brown onion finely chopped
  • 1 grated carrot
  • 1 grated zucchini
  • 1 grated garlic clove
  • 1-2 Tbsp coconut syrup (or maple syrup)
  • 1-2 Tbps coconut aminos (or tamari if not paleo/AIP)
  • 1 tsp Chinese a Five spice (omit for AIP)
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 egg (omit for AIP – it will still hold together!)
  • oil for cooking (AIP – coconut oil, otherwise macadamia will do)
  1. Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  It’s best to use your hands and really squelch it all through.
  2. Roll into balls – these are about a heaped dessert spoons worth.  It is pretty sticky.  Place balls onto plate or into container you can store in the fridge.  It’s best to refrigerate for an hour or 2 before cooking.
  3. Turn on oven to 180C/350F.
  4. Heat oil in large fry pan (one you can also put in oven).  Carefully place meatballs in and sear/brown on each side well.  You do need to be careful when turning the meat balls as they can come apart easily.
  5. Transfer pan to the oven for about 15 mins.
  6. Serve with salad and dipping sauce.

Serves family of 5.
