INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Turkey (170g)
2 medium Zucchinis (248g total)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, combine lean ground turkey, egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the meatballs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs bake, create zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Lightly salt the zucchini noodles and let them sit for a few minutes to release excess moisture.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still firm.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Serve the baked turkey meatballs over a bed of zucchini noodles and spoon the heated marinara sauce on top.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and enjoy!
