Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound zucchini 3 medium-sized, spiralized
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups marinara sauce homemade or store-bought
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated

For the meatballs

  • 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
  • ½ cup panko
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 2 egg large yolks
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon basil dried
  • ½ teaspoon parsley dried
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
  • salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
  • black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Panko, Parmesan, egg yolks, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-to-2-inch meatballs, forming about 24 meatballs.
  3. Place meatballs onto the prepared baking dish and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until all sides are browned and meatballs are cooked through; set aside.
  4. Place zucchini in a colander over the sink. Add salt and gently toss to combine; let sit for 10 minutes.
  5. In a large pot of boiling water, cook zucchini for 30 seconds to 1 minute; drain well.
  6. Divide zucchini into meal prep containers. Top with meatballs, marinara sauce and Parmesan.

Notes

  • *This is the spiral slicer that I use. It’s so easy to use – it honestly just takes minutes to spiralize!
