Baked Turkey Meatballs with Zoodles

Baked Turkey Meatballs with Zoodles

Not only is this a grain-free, low-carb alternative to pasta, but it is delicious. All you really need is either a mandolin or a spiralizer of some type. You can go Veggetti, Spiralizer, or use a Kitchen Aide attachment (my new found love).

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees
  • In a food processor add rolled oats and pulse until becomes coarsely ground.
  • Add onion, parsley and garlic to food processor and pulse until appears like a crumb.

  • Add the mixture from the food processor into a large bowl, add the ground turkey and mix until just combine, cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes.
  • While the meatballs are resting spiralizer your zucchini and set aside.
  • Remove the ground meat mixture from fridge and on 2 prepared baking sheets scoop out meatballs about a tablespoon each and place on baking sheet 1 inch apart. (Mine came out to be ~26 meatballs).
  • Place in oven and cook at 350F degrees for 20-25 minutes or until done.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in pan and add zucchini noodles, season with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes (optional), to just lightly soften the noodles, about 2-3 minutes. Once meatballs are ready, add to pan with noodles and stir lightly, add remaining cheese, serve and enjoy!
