Ingredients
- 5 Skinny Crisps, Say Cheese (low carb gluten free crackers)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 packet Trader Joes Onion Dip Mix
- 1 tsp Ped Pepper Flakes
- 1 Egg
- 1 Small Onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh or dry basil leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt

- 1 large jar Tomato Sauce (I prefer Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce, though you can get whatever sauce you like, just watch the sugar content.)

Instructions
- Combine skinny crisps, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, onion mix, and red pepper flakes in a food processor to make your “bread-less crumbs.”
- In a large bowl, combine the “Bread-less crumbs”, eggs, onion, Parmesan cheese, basil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, stir to blend. Add the ground turkey. Using fingers gently mix all the ingredients until thoroughly combined.
- Using your hands or a 1-ounce cookie scoop or a small ice cream scoop, form the meat mixture into approximately 12 balls.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add your tomato sauce. Simply drop your turkey meatballs into the sauce, making sure they are completely emerged in the tomato sauce. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20-30 min. Stir to make sure that no meatballs are sticking to the bottom and to avoid burning.
Recipe Notes
Serve over sautéed spinach or any veggie of your choice with grated Parmesan cheese alongside. You can serve with some “pasta alternative” but I prefer the freshness of the meatballs with a delicious vegetable side.
