Turkey Meatballs and Zucchini Noodles

Turkey meatballs with zucchini noodles is the easiest recipe I have in my book:

Ingredients:

  • Meatballs
    • 2 lbs lean ground turkey
    • 1/2 c chopped green onion
    • 2 tsp mince garlic
    • 2 Tbs chopped fresh Italian parsley
    • 2 tsp paprika
    • Salt and pepper
  • Zucchini squash- spiraled
  • Good quality tomato sauce
    • I usually buy Rao’s Tomato Basil
  • Optional: red chili flakes and grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees.
  • Combine all ingredient for the meatballs and mix well
  • Create meatballs in 1 oz portions (easier to keep track of macro counting)
    • I use a kitchen scale for the first few until I get a feel on the size
  • Bake meatballs for 10-15 minutes
    • Once meatballs are cooled then they can be frozen for future use
  • Place meatballs in a sauce pan with tomato sauce and simmer.  I usually do this until I feel that the flavors are blending.
  • Scoop meatballs and sauce and put on top of zucchini noodles and garnish with some red chili flakes and grate parmesan cheese.
