INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
While the meatballs bake, spiralize the zucchini into noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips.
Warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in a teaspoon of olive oil to round out the flavor.
Combine the zucchini noodles with the warmed tomato sauce, tossing them gently to coat.
Plate the zucchini pasta and top with the freshly baked turkey meatballs. Garnish with additional herbs if desired and serve immediately.
