Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs ground turkey
1 cup shredded zucchini (liquid squeezed out (measured before squeezing))
2 eggs (large)
4 large garlic cloves (grated)
2 tbsp onion flakes or powder
1 tsp oregano (dried)
1 tsp salt
Ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 large baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Or I love using silicone baking mats, no oil necessary. In a large bowl, add ground turkey, zucchini, eggs, garlic, onion flakes, oregano, salt and pepper; mix well with your hands.
  • Using small cookie scoop form 47 meatballs (it helps to dip hands in a bowl with cold water occasionally) and lay on baking sheets.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, turn and toss with spatula (mostly to get rid off of that ground turkey residue) and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot.
  • Serve hot as an appetizer or main dish.
