Caprese Meatballs
By: Mellissa Sevigny @ www.ibreatheimhungry.com/
A fantastic low carb meatball recipe inspired by the Caprese Salad.
Yield: 16 meatballs
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella
2 Tbsp sun dried tomatoes, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil for frying
Instructions
Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a medium bowl, and mix thoroughly.
Form into 16 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick saute pan.
Add the meatballs to the hot oil about 1 inch apart (you may have to do two batches) and cook over low/medium heat for about 3 minutes per side or until cooked through.
Because the cheese melts out a bit, be careful that they don’t burn – if they appear to be getting dark quickly, then turn down the heat and cook them at a lower temp.
Serve alone, with marinara sauce, or on skewers with fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, and cherry tomatoes.
Enjoy!
