INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

0.25 cup low-fat cottage cheese

2 tbsp almond flour

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup zucchini noodles

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cottage cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, ensuring you do not overwork the meat to keep the meatballs tender.

• 4

  Scoop and roll the mixture into 8 evenly sized meatballs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F.

• 6

  While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.

• 7

  In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the zucchini noodles for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender.

• 8

  Divide the zucchini noodles between plates, top with the turkey meatballs, and finish with a generous pour of warm marinara sauce.
