serves 6
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup finely grated zucchini (after grating, be sure to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 lb ground turkey thigh
1 lb ground turkey breast
1/4 cup almond meal
2 eggs
Place saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil and heat until it begins to shimmer. Add onions and sauté until onions begin to soften and sweat. Add garlic, zucchini, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for a few minutes more. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, almond meal, eggs, and cooled veggies. Mix well.
Using a small retractable scoop, scoop out meatballs and place on a silat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve with your favorite tomato sauce and pasta.
