Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb of ground turkey, 1/4 cup of almond flour, and 1 egg. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste into the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to
- 5 inches in diameter. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
- Once all the meatballs are formed and placed on the baking sheet, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the meatballs are baking, you can prepare a dipping sauce if desired. Simply mix additional sriracha with a touch of honey for a sweet and spicy sauce.
- Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, either on their own or with the dipping sauce on the side.
- Enjoy your Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Paleo Meatballs as a delicious and healthy meal option!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh ground turkey and high-quality sriracha. The freshness of your ingredients can significantly enhance the taste of your meatballs.
- Don't Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough meatballs, so keep it gentle!
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to customize the seasoning! Adding a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika can add an extra layer of flavor to your meatballs.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This guarantees they are cooked through while remaining juicy.
- Make Ahead: These meatballs freeze beautifully! Prepare a double batch and freeze half for a quick meal on busy nights. Just bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Serve with Style: Pair your meatballs with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Don’t forget that sweet and spicy dipping sauce—it's the perfect finishing touch!
