Prep 10 min · Cook 30 min

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadless crumbs, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Mix gently with your hands until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat.
Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch balls, making approximately 6 to 8 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs, reduce heat to low, and cover with a lid.
Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
While meatballs simmer, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan for 2 minutes until just tender.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over the zucchini noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.
