Zucchini Noodles with Turkey Meatballs and Marinara Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized zucchinis
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 24 ounces marinara sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cut the ends off the zucchinis and spiralize them to make noodles. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked.
5. In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender. Do not overcook or the noodles will become mushy.
6. Divide the zucchini noodles among four plates and top with the turkey meatballs and marinara sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
