INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 large Egg Whites
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Canned Diced Tomatoes
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg whites, whole wheat breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined to form a uniform mixture.
Shape the turkey mixture into small meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.
While the meatballs bake, use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles from the zucchini. Set aside.
Prepare the marinara by heating the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, add salt and pepper to taste, and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil.
Plate the dish by placing a bed of zucchini spaghetti, topping it with turkey meatballs, and drizzling the fresh basil marinara sauce over it.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra basil if desired and serve immediately.
