Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef or turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, almond flour, beaten egg, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  2. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
  3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine and add Parmesan cheese, spinach, and fresh basil, stirring until spinach wilts.
