Simmering the meatballs directly in the sauce, instead of baking them separately, is what keeps them from drying out.

Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground turkey
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 cups marinara sauce (check label for GF, no added sugar)
- 3 cups fresh spinach
Method
- 1
Mix ground turkey, almond flour, egg, garlic, and oregano until just combined, then form into 16 small meatballs.
- 2
Warm the marinara sauce in a large skillet over medium heat until simmering.
- 3
Gently drop the raw meatballs into the simmering sauce — cooking them this way, submerged in liquid instead of dry-baked, is what keeps lean ground turkey from drying out.
- 4
Cover and simmer 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through.
- 5
Stir in the spinach in the last 2 minutes, just until wilted, before serving.
