Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and give it a quick spray with cooking spray so the meatballs don’t stick. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Use your hands to mix everything together until it’s well blended. Then, shape the mixture into about twelve meatballs, each roughly 1 1/2 inches wide, and place them evenly on the baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until they’re cooked through and no longer pink inside. Let them cool for a minute before serving!
