Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Roll the turkey mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally.
Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is hot.
Drain the pasta and toss it directly into the skillet with the sauce, meatballs, and vegetables.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
