Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Finely mince walnuts and mushrooms, then combine in a bowl.
    2.
    In the bowl, mix ground turkey, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and mayo until well combined.
    3.
    Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Form 12 two-inch meatballs by hand and place them on the prepared tray.
    4.
    Bake the meatballs for 45 minutes, flipping them after 30 minutes to ensure even browning.
    5.
    During the last 15 minutes of baking, prepare the gravy. Melt butter in a small pan over low heat, then add minced garlic. Toast until golden and fragrant.
    6.
    Stir almond flour into the butter. Once thickened, add broth. Simmer until the sauce reduces to a thickened gravy. Stir in salt and pepper, then set aside to thicken and cool slightly.
    7.
    Let the meatballs cool for 5 minutes post-baking. Toss them in a clean bowl with the gravy until fully coated. Serve immediately.
