Instructions

Grate the carrots and zucchini and set aside. Heat oven to 375˚ Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, eggs, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, Parmesan and Panko. Blend well with a large spoon.
Fold in shredded carrots and zucchini.
With your hands, gently roll the meat mixture into meatballs in about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Place them on a lined baking sheet and place in the refrigerator or freezer to firm up (10 minutes)
Heat a skillet pan with two tablespoons of avocado oil. Gently brown the meatballs (optional step).
Return to lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160˚ Fahrenheit.

Notes

A mix of dark and light turkey meat can be used.
In place of Panko breadcrumbs or fine pork rinds can be used for a lower carb option.
