Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles Recipe
This Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles recipe is a healthy, low-carb twist on classic spaghetti and meatballs, featuring lean turkey and spiralized zucchini. It’s light yet satisfying, packed with flavor from herbs and spices. Ingredients: 1 pound ground turkey, 1 egg, 1/4 cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 4 medium zucchini (spiralized into noodles), 1 cup marinara sauce, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional). Instructions: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended, then form into 12 meatballs. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and zucchini noodles. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still firm. Warm marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. To serve, divide zucchini noodles among plates, top with meatballs, spoon marinara sauce over, and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Serves 4. This dish is quick to prepare, taking about 30 minutes total, and offers a nutritious alternative to traditional pasta, with the zucchini adding a fresh, crisp texture.
