INGREDIENTS
4 oz Ground Turkey
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Grain Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Fresh Marinara Sauce
1 medium Zucchini (spiralized)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg white, whole grain breadcrumbs, minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and chopped fresh basil. Mix until just combined.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides until a crispy exterior forms, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pour the fresh marinara sauce over the meatballs, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the meatballs are fully cooked.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the zucchini noodles. Lightly sauté them in a separate pan with a touch of olive oil for 2-3 minutes until just tender, or serve them raw for extra crunch.
Plate the zucchini noodles, top with the turkey meatballs and generous spoonfuls of marinara sauce. Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
