Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce I used Frank's
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Sauce
- ¼ cup ghee
- ½ cup red hot sauce
Ranch Dressing
- 1 cup homemade mayo
- 1 14oz can coconut cream (not milk, cream. It needs to be thick)
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° and line a sheet tray with foil. Rub the foil with coconut oil to make it non-stick.
- In a large bowl, mix the turkey, almond flour, egg, red hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt together. Do not overmix.
- Roll into 1 inch balls and place on the sheet tray. You should get 20 out of the mix.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While they are baking, combine ghee and buffalo sauce in a frying pan. Warm over medium heat.
- After 10 minutes, place the meatballs in the sauce and roll around to fully coat. This will have to be done in batches because they won't all fit at once.
- Place back on sheet tray and bake for another 5 minutes.
- After those 10 minutes, repeat step 6. Place back in oven for 5-8 more minutes.
- Make ranch while they finish baking. Serve warm with ranch.
