AIP Herby Turkey Meatballs
These simple herby meatballs are one of the best savory AIP snacks out there. They are juicy, nutritious, and packed full of protein. Prepared using a handful of ingredients, the meatballs are effortless and nothing short of delicious. You can prepare a large batch and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
How to customize these AIP meatballs?
You can adjust this snack to your liking as long as you use AIP-compliant ingredients. Swap the turkey meat for ground chicken, beef, or lamb. You can swap the herbs for mint, celery leaves, fresh spinach, coriander leaves, or basil. To help keep them intact, we used coconut flour, which you can swap with tapioca flour, tiger nut flour, or cassava flour. You can also include these meatballs in many AIP recipes like soups, stews, or salads.
What if you don’t have an air fryer?
Even though we used an air fryer for this recipe, you don’t need one to make this delicious snack. Preheat your oven to 200C/400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the raw meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Can you make these meatballs in advance?
These herby meatballs are an excellent make-ahead recipe. Prepare the mixture and store it in the fridge for a day, or freeze it for up to 3 months. You can also form the mixture into balls and freeze them separately for a quick fix. Feel free to cook them for any meal you prefer.
