Easy baked turkey zucchini meatballs; a clean, healthy protein that’s gluten-free and paleo. Perfect for pairing with pesto or marinara sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 medium zucchini, grated (about 2 cups)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup soft herbs (parsley, mint, and/or cilantro), optional
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Line a rimmed baking tray with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients and shape into 20 mini meatballs. They might seem a little watery depending on your zucchini – that’s ok. Just form them into balls as best as you can as they will firm up when they cook.
-
Once the oven is preheated, bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through.
