How to Make Keto Turkey Meatballs
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet over medium heat.
In a bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs.
For oven: place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 18–20 minutes until fully cooked.
For skillet: cook in olive oil over medium heat, turning until browned and cooked through.
How to Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce, creamy garlic sauce, or over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice. They also pair well with a fresh salad.
Tips for Best Results
Don’t overmix the meat to keep meatballs tender. Use a mix of white and dark turkey for juicier results. Add parmesan for extra flavor and moisture. Let them rest for a few minutes after cooking.
Variations
Stuff with mozzarella for cheesy centers. Add spinach for extra nutrients. Use ground chicken instead of turkey. Make spicy with chili flakes or hot sauce.
Storage and Reheating
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze cooked meatballs for up to 2 months. Reheat in a pan or oven until warmed through.
Final Thoughts
Keto Turkey Meatballs are simple, juicy, and full of flavor while staying low in carbs. They’re perfect for easy weeknight dinners or meal prep and pair well with almost any sauce or side.
