INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 medium Zucchini
1 cup Fresh Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground turkey, egg white, breadcrumbs, a crushed garlic clove, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a few torn basil leaves. Mix well until ingredients are evenly blended.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
While the meatballs bake, spiralize the zucchini to create noodles. Set aside in a bowl.
Prepare the fresh tomato sauce by blending the fresh tomatoes with olive oil, the remaining garlic, and basil until smooth. For a chunkier texture, you can simply dice the tomatoes and lightly crush them with a fork.
Sauté the sauce briefly in a pan over medium heat to warm it and allow the flavors to meld, then season with salt and pepper as desired.
To serve, plate the zucchini noodles, top with the baked turkey meatballs, and generously spoon the warmed tomato sauce on top. Garnish with additional fresh basil if preferred.
