Turkey Meatballs w/ Maple Dijon Sauce

Ingredients: Makes 25

• 2 lbs ground turkey

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

• ½ cup almond flour

• ⅓ cup breadcrumbs

• ½ onion, finely diced

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 1½ tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

• 1½ tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

• Avocado oil for baking

Sauce:

• 1 cup chicken broth

• ¼ cup Dijon mustard

• ¼ cup maple syrup

• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise

• Optional: extra rosemary & thyme for garnish

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

• In a large bowl, combine turkey, egg, almond flour, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and don’t overwork.

• Roll into meatballs (about 35–40 small or 25–30 larger).

• Place on a parchment-lined or lightly oiled baking sheet. Spray or drizzle lightly with olive oil.

• Bake 18–22 minutes, until mostly cooked through and lightly golden.

• While baking, prepare sauce in a large skillet or saucepan: whisk broth, Dijon, maple syrup, and mayo over medium heat until slightly thickened.

• Transfer baked meatballs into the sauce and simmer 3–5 minutes, gently tossing so they absorb flavor.

• Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
