Turkey meatballs and zoodles for dinner after a long weekend is just what I needed! Super easy to make and they are great way to sneak lots of veggies into your meal! Comfort food without the calories.
1. Prepare the meatballs: In a bowl, mix 1 lb lean ground turkey, one egg, half a white onion (finely chopped), 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into small meatballs.
2. Cook the meatballs: Heat avocado or olive oil in a pan on medium to high heat. Cook the meatballs for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are browned and cooked through.
3. Simmer the meatballs: Add red sauce (or whatever sauce you like) to the cooked meatballs and simmer for another 10 minutes on low heat.
4. Prepare the zoodles: In a separate pan, sauté zucchini spirals in avocado or olive oil with salt and pepper until tender-crisp. It's recommended to cook them apart from the sauce as they release a lot of water.
5. Serve: Serve the turkey meatballs and sauce over the zoodles. Top with red chili flakes or some Parmesan cheese if desired for more flavor.
