Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Set out a large mixing bowl. Add the ground turkey, almond flour, eggs, scallions, basil, garlic, fish sauce, lemongrass, and crushed red pepper. Mix until well combined with a smooth texture.
Use a 1.5 tablespoon scoop to portion out balls. Gently roll the balls and lay them on a baking sheet. The meat mixture will be very soft and sticky, so try not to roll the balls too much.
Once all the balls are formed. Warm the coconut oil, then drizzle it over the tops of the meatballs.
Place the meatballs in the oven for 10 minutes. Then flip each meatballs and place back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Serve warm.
