These Easy Oven Baked Paleo Meatballs are sure to become a favorite! So quick and easy to make and loaded with flavor! Whole30, gluten free, dairy free and delicious!
I have made these meatballs more times than I can count! Whenever I need a quick meal or I know we’ll be eating on the road- I make these. They are ready in less than 30 minutes and there is just a little hands on time.
The mixture of turkey and beef keeps them light, but not dry. I never use the super lean turkey, that stuff has no flavor and fat is not the enemy! I use italian seasoning mix for most of the flavor and it’s so good! Almond flour takes the place of bread crumbs and keeps them gluten free and grain free. It helps bind them together without drying them out- I always love using Anthony’s Goods almond flour, it’s very fine which works best.
They are so easy to make and come together so fast. I use a cookie scoop which makes it so quick and they come out more even that way. They are also great to make ahead and eat for the week. I’m thinking they would freeze great as well.
I like them dipped in pasta sauce, but they are also good dipped in Paleo Ranch. They are tender, flavorful, and great for using in any recipe that calls for meatballs. You could add them to a soup, your favorite sauce, or snack on them plain. You really can’t go wrong any way you have them.
You will love how easy and delicious these meatballs are. Also great for game day- everyone will love them.

What do you serve them with?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Jilian- literally anything you want. With zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, roasted veggies, cover them in pasta sauce. Really they are so versatile. I hope you try them!
Melody says
Could the almond flour be substituted with coconut flour?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Melody- yes, but use only 2 tablespoons. Hope you enjoy!
Jessica says
These were sooooo good! I added 1 tsp garlic powder and 2 tsp nutritional yeast but I’m sure they’d be just as good. Thank you for the easy recipe!
Jessica DeMay says
You’re welcome, Jessica! I’m so glad you like them!
Ted says
Love this recipe, my favorite meat balls ever. I change it up a little by adding ground pork vs. Turkey. Also add some chopped Shallots or Onions and chopped mushrooms. Either way they are so good. 👍🏻
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Ted! So glad you like them!
Nicole says
I made these and they were all mushy and I couldn’t even form them into meatballs. I used all the ingredients the same and used ground turkey. Any idea why they would be mushy?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Nicole- I’m sorry about that. It could be because it was all turkey. Some brands of turkey are more mushy. Add some more flour and see if that helps. Hope they turn out okay.
