Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage or links removed from casings
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup kale chopped
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the kale leaves from the stem. Chop the leaves.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients. Using hands or a heavy spoon, mix ingredients together lightly but thoroughly. Make sure everything is well dispersed.
  • Using a heaping tablespoon of mixture per meatball, roll the mixture between your hands into 2 inch round meatballs. Place the meatballs close together but not touching onto the lined baking sheet.
