• 450 g Ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1 Egg
• 2 tbsp Almond flour
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 4 Zucchini, medium
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 cup Marinara sauce (sugar-free)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, almond flour, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
5. While meatballs are baking, use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create zoodles from the zucchini.
6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zoodles and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly tender but still firm. Do not overcook.
7. Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan.
8. Serve the cooked turkey meatballs over the zoodles, topped with warm marinara sauce.
