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.

Quick and easy to make, moist and flavorful. Next time I make them I will cut down on the Italian seasoning a bit. Maybe 1.5 Tbsp instead of 2.
