Ingredients

  • 8 oz ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup homemade tomato sauce (canned tomatoes, garlic, basil)

Instructions

Use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles. Set them aside.
In a bowl, mix ground turkey, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown and cooked through.
In another pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked meatballs to the tomato sauce and gently coat them.
Blanch the zucchini noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes or sauté in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the meatballs and sauce.
