Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup quinoa cooked
- ½ onion grated, medium
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ cup zucchini grated
- ¼ cup Italian parsley plus more for garnish, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon dried chile flakes
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oregano ground
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 cups tomato sauce your favorite kind
- 9 butter lettuce medium to large leaves
- 6 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese finely grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, cooked quinoa, grated onion, garlic, zucchini, parsley, dried chile flakes, soy sauce, oregano, ground pepper and egg.
- Mix well to combine. Using a 1½ tablespoon portion of the turkey mixture, form meatballs by rolling between the palms of your hands. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.

- While the meatballs are cooking, heat the tomato sauce in a large saucepan set over medium heat.

- Spoon the meatballs and sauce into a bowl, serve alongside the lettuce leaves and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve 2 meatballs and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese in each lettuce wrap.
