SUN-DRIED TOMATO & FETA MEATBALLS (LOW CARB & GLUTEN FREE)

INGREDIENTS (16 meatballs)

• 1 lb. ground turkey (if you are lucky enough to find it)
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 Tbl (.5 oz) sundried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 Tbl fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 2 Tbl water
• olive oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all of the ingredients (except olive oil) in a medium bowl and mix well. Form 16 one inch meatballs and fry them in olive oil in a large saute pan. Do not crowd the meatballs or they won’t get brown and crisp – you may have to fry them in batches to get the best results. Cook for about 3 – 4 minutes, turn over and cook for an additional 3 – 4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and place on paper towel-lined plate to absorb any extra oil. These can be eaten alone or served with marinara sauce and spaghetti squash for a complete meal.
