INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground turkey

1 large egg

1 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp fresh parsley

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1.5 cup zucchini noodles

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

• 2

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, almond flour, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure a light and tender texture.

• 4

  Scoop and roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, placing them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 6

  While the meatballs bake, warm the marinara sauce in a large skillet over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer.

• 7

  Carefully transfer the baked meatballs into the skillet and toss gently to coat them thoroughly in the warm sauce.

• 8

  Serve the saucy meatballs over a bed of fresh zucchini noodles, which can be lightly sautéed for 2 minutes if a softer texture is preferred.
