Ground Turkey Meatballs Recipe

Zoodles & Ground Turkey Meatballs Recipe

This zoodle and ground turkey meatballs recipe is a result of a craving for spaghetti and meatballs, but wanting to avoid pasta and red meat. 

The result? Ground turkey meatballs and zoodles!

What’s a Zoodle??

I do not claim to have invented these. They are EVERYWHERE online. 

Zoodles are zucchini noodles. 

Seeming zucchini doesn’t have tons of its own flavor it works well as a noodle. It absorbs the flavor of the dish really well. 

You can easily make zoodles by grabbing a few zucchini and buying a spiralizer.

Ground Turkey Meatballs Recipe

The zoodles are simple. Spiralize as many zucchini as you will need to feed your family. Set these aside until the end. 

I can usually make four servings out of this recipe, with at least 16-20 meatballs.

You Can Stuff Them!

These ground turkey meatballs are also great stuffed. Simply buy your favorite cheese and add a small cube in the middle of each meatball!

Ingredients Needed:

Meatballs

• 1 lb of ground turkey

   • one egg
   • 1/2 of parmesan cheese
   • 1/2 cup of bread crumbs
2. Mix these all together completely.
