KETO TUSCAN MEATBALLS

I know what you must be thinking, "no eggs!?" When I first came up with this recipe, I was out of eggs, and it turned out just fine. These meatballs hold together very well due to the ground up onions and cheese, making them easy to handle in the pan. Garnish with basil and serve over zoodles, spaghetti squash, riced cauliflower, or enjoy as is.

Ingredients

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup French-fried onions, finely crushed
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ pound ground beef
½ pound ground turkey
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup water

Steps:

Combine Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, onions, garlic, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl and lightly mix. Add beef and turkey; mix by hand until well combined. Form mixture into 8 large meatballs.

KETO TUSCAN CHICKEN MEATBALLS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Keto Tuscan Chicken Meatballs Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-114582

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
1/4 cup almond flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1 egg
2 tbsp parsley
1 tsp italian seasoning
6 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp garlic spread
4 tbsp sundried tomato pesto
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
provolone cheese (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, salt, 3 tbsp of sundried tomato pesto, parsley, italian seasoning, egg, garlic spread and parmesan cheese. Form into about 20 meatballs and brush with olive oil. Bake for 17 minutes or until cooked through if making larger meatballs. Then broil on high for 3-4 minutes or until they're nice and golden brown on top. Mix the mayo with the remaining tbsp of sundried tomato pesto and put a dollop on top of the meatballs when ready to serve.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ground beef. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean. This will help ensure that your meatballs are juicy and flavorful.
Use a variety of seasonings. The seasonings in this recipe are just a starting point. Feel free to add or adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing the meatball mixture will make the meatballs tough. Be sure to mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Use a large skillet to cook the meatballs. This will help prevent the meatballs from overcrowding the pan and cooking unevenly.
Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help prevent the meatballs from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
Make sure the meatballs are cooked through before adding them to the sauce. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of a meatball. The meatball is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use a homemade sauce. A homemade sauce will give your meatballs a much richer and more flavorful taste than a store-bought sauce.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for meatballs include spaghetti, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

These Keto Tuscan Meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
