Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs

Day 7

Ok I am loving this and challenge so far, and I am loving that I am sticking with it! Meatballs are so so delicious, especially when they are made from scratch. These slow cooker meatballs are easy to put together, healthy, and delicious.  They are also gluten free since I used almond meal  because I like the texture better than bread crumbs and because of course it’s  much healthier.  So forget the frozen ones and make these easy, healthy, and tasty meatballs.

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground turkey

2 tbs chopped fresh basil

1 tbs chopped fresh parsley

2 tbs onion powder

2 tbs garlic powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup almond meal

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 egg

2 24 oz. San Marzano crushed tomatoes

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbs chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

In a medium bowl mix turkey, basil, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, almond meal, parmesan cheese, and the egg.

Mix well.

Form mixture into medium size meatballs (about 1 -1.5 inch in diameter)

Grease a medium skillet and sear meatballs about 1-2 minutes on each side until browned but not cooked through.

Add to 6-7 quart slow cooker.

Top with crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, and parsley.

Gently mix everything in slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours or until meatballs are cooked through.
