These Sweet Potato Meatballs are a unique blend of ingredients for a new twist on a favorite meal idea.
Sweet Potato Meatballs
I dreamed up these little sweet potato meatballs while eating one of my go-to meals of ground turkey mixed in sweet potatoes with coconut oil and a little cinnamon sprinkled on top. (no judging, it’s so yummy I promise!)
These little babies are a protein + carb packed little meal that are a great meal prep option. The added flavor of thyme and ginger are exceptional!
Just mix all the ingredients, form into meatballs and bake for about 20 minutes. We served ours with roasted vegetables for a simple dinner or lunch.

Very good flavor! I was looking for a ground beef/sweet potato recipe (not particularly to fit a specific type of diet). I only had regular flour on hand which I used instead of coconut flour. I baked for 18 mins and then pan fried a few more minutes. Tasted great!
