Ingredients

½ cup grated onion (from about 1 medium yellow onion)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast*
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
⅓ cup almond flour (or oat flour for nut free)
2 pounds ground dark meat turkey or ground beef (grass-fed if possible)
1 tablespoon olive oil
No-sugar-added marinara sauce of choice (for serving (optional))

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400F.
In a large bowl, mix together the grated onion, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, and flour until well combined. Add the meat, stirring until well combined (clean hands work best), being careful not to overmix.
Roll the mixture into balls. Place each on a rimmed baking baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping once, until golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven, add to sauce of choice (if using), and serve.

EGG-FREE MEATBALLS

Egg-Free Meatballs image

Great texture, very flavorful, and an extra boost of fiber. I've been tweaking this recipe for years! I use Ener-G egg replacement powder, but other brands (like Orgran) or substitutions (like arrowroot powder) may work just as well. If you want to try using a real egg instead, reduce the amount of pasta sauce accordingly, so that the egg plus sauce equal 3/4 cup liquid.

Yield 36 meatballs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oat bran
1/2 cup quick oats
1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Substitute
3/4 cup pasta sauce
1 lb lean ground beef
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

In a medium bowl, combine seasonings, oat bran, oats, and egg replacement powder.
Add pasta sauce and mix thoroughly.
Add ground beef and mix thoroughly (I knead it with my hands like a bread dough, folding over a side and pressing in). The oats will absorb liquid as you mix, creating a firmer texture. You can let this sit for a few minutes to thicken as well.
Put 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about an inch in diameter.
Cook the meatballs about 5 minutes, until crispy and browned on one side, then turn. Turn again to brown as much surface as possible.
If you opened up a fresh jar of pasta sauce, pour the rest over the cooked meatballs and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
Serve on fresh rolls (I use http://www.food.com/recipe/potato-buns-bread-machine-412701) or over pasta.
