Amazing Keto Turkey Meatballs In A Creamy Sauce: This Is How
These parmesan keto turkey meatballs have just the right amount of spice and savory flavors. Making these the perfect option for a easy low carb dinner.
Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 2 teaspoon parsley
Parmesan Sauce
- 1 3/4 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (cut from the block)
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt (half if using salted butter)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Combine ground turkey with egg, salt, pepper, garlic and parsley. Note, this will be sticky. In order to form meatballs be sure to oil your hands before rolling them.
- Roll seasoned ground turkey into meatballs with the diameter of a quarter but thick enough to be considered a meatball. Not super tiny but not so thick they will have a hard time cooking through. I used a meatball maker and I got 15 meatballs.
- In a skillet on medium/ high heat add oil and meatballs. Don't crowd them, if you need to cook in batches do so. Cook on both sides for about 2-3 minutes. They don't have to be done inside this step is for color.
- Remove meatballs and then adjust heat to low heat. Add in butter, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer a little. See notes if sauce isn't thickening. Sauce should be thick before adding in meatballs. After sauce is right then add meatballs back in
- Place in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove, garnish with parsley and and a bit of parmesan then serve. Careful, the cream sauce will be hot.
- Note: You will have to remove the meatballs after baking and give the sauce a stir to get the thickness back. While baking the parmesan cheese likes to settle to the bottom.

Notes
Parmesan Cheese- Be sure to use Parmesan Cheese from the cheese section of the grocery store. The shelf stable cheese has a non-caking agent that makes it not melt properly.
