Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini spiralized
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. Prepare the zucchini noodles by spiralizing them and setting them aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until just combined.
  3. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Form the turkey mixture into meatballs and place them in the skillet, browning on all sides.
  4. Once browned, pour in the marinara sauce, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. While the sauce simmers, quickly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan for about 3-4 minutes until just tender.
  6. Serve the zucchini noodles topped with meatballs and marinara sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and serve warm.
