These Easy Oven Baked Paleo Meatballs are sure to become a favorite! So quick and easy to make and loaded with flavor! Ready in 30 minutes and 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.
Meat Mixture for Tender Meatballs
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.
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. They freeze well too making them great to prep ahead.
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.

Christine miller says
Do I have to use the coconut aminos, I don’t have that in my cupboard
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Christine- you can leave it out, but it adds great moistness and flavor. Definitely recommended!
Shauna H says
Hi Jessica, a while back you had posted about substituting gelatin for eggs and coconut flour for almond flour. Would you mind reposting that info? Thank you!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Shauna- yes, you can use 1 tablespoon grass-fed gelatin in place of the egg. Just sprinkle it evenly over the meat. You can use 2 tablespoons coconut flour in place of the almond flour. Hope that helps!

Leah says
I've made these so many times! I use 1 lb. turkey and keep the measurements for the rest of the ingredients. I play around with the recipe, I use some herbs de Provence instead of some of the Italian seasoning, I added some ginger and garlic powder. Sometimes I add fresh basil. This recipe is a family favorite!! Even the dog likes it
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Leah! So glad you like it and it's definitely a great one to use as a base and switch up flavors.
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.
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!
