Slow Cooker Paleo Turkey Meatballs over Spaghetti Squash

Another really yummy meatball recipe! Since I already bought almond flour for a previous recipe, I decided I should put it to use before I forget about it. I subbed out the turkey sausage for ground beef, but I am sure turkey sausage would only of made these meatballs even tastier. Also, I opted for pairing the meatballs with spaghetti squash since I haven't made that in a while. I forgot how incredibly fast and easy spaghetti squash is to make! Check out this link for directions on how to make it. Anyways, this meal turned out amazing and is definitely a good slow cooker recipe to have ready for when life gets busy!

Slow Cooker Paleo Turkey Meatballs
Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 lb turkey sausage (I used ground beef instead)
• 1 tsp basil
• ½ tsp oregano
• ½ tsp rosemary
• ½ tsp thyme
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ cup almond meal
• 1 egg, beaten
• 24 oz San Marzano crushed tomatoes
• ½ large onion, quartered
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Directions:

1. Begin by heating a large skillet to medium high.
2. In a large bowl, mix together both ground turkey and sausage until well blended.
3. In a separate small bowl, mix together basil, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and almond meal. Add mixture to the meat.
4. With your hands, mix together the spices and meat until well incorporated. Add in beaten egg and continue to mix well.
5. Form meat mixture into large meatballs (about 1.5-2 inches in diameter).
6. Grease your skillet, and add meatballs. Cook each meatball about 1 minute per side until the meat is browned (but not cooked through). Add meatballs to slow cooker.
7. Top meatballs with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and vinegar.
8. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
9. Serve plain with fresh basil, or with spaghetti squash.
