INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1 medium Zucchini
1 large Egg White
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
1/2 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, minced garlic, finely chopped quarter onion, a pinch of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a lightly greased baking tray.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the meatballs are baking, use a vegetable peeler or spiralizer to create zucchini ribbons. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Lightly sauté the zucchini ribbons for 2-3 minutes until just tender; avoid overcooking to maintain a crisp texture.
Prepare whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions if not already cooked.
To serve, plate a serving of spaghetti, top with the turkey meatballs, and arrange zucchini ribbons over the top. Optionally, garnish with extra herbs and freshly ground black pepper.
