Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground mild pork sausage
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup almond meal/flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 1/2 white onion, grated directly into bowl
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon parsley
  • 1/2 tablespoon thyme
  • 1/2 tablespoon rosemary
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups sugar free marinara (I prefer Rao’s)
  • 1 13.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, liquid drained

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, excluding olive oil, make sure to grate onion directly into the bowl to keep the juices
  2. Use hands to roll into 2 inch balls (or desired size)
  3. Preheat skillet on stove top with olive oil over medium heat
  4. Cook meatballs for 4 minutes on each side
  5. Pour marinara evenly into the skillet, add diced tomatoes, reduce heat to medium low and then cover. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked completely
  6. Top with fresh parsley or basil and serve!

Notes

Simmer time may differ depending on the size of meatballs, for larger meatballs, add an additional 5 minutes.
