EVERRRRRR.

You ready for this?

You guys know that I think pasta and red sauce is one of life’s greatest guilty pleasures, but today, I’ve stepped it up a notch, made it healthier, and STILL kept it super super simple.

How do you make turkey meatballs without breadcrumbs?

You only need 8 ingredients for these turkey meatballs:

ground turkey
an egg
freshly shaved parmesan
garlic powder
onion powder
dried basil
salt
pepper

It sounds simple, but holy COW these are packed with flavor.

You’ll combine all those ingredients together in a large bowl
use this cookie scoop to scoop them into 18 little meatballs
broil them for 5 minutes in your oven
simmer them in the pasta sauce of your choice and serve ’em up with your fave pasta!

Today, I decided to serve them with my favorite whole grain pasta and. . .

ZOODLES!!!!

You guys.

This was my first time making zoodles.

I know, I know, I’m like waaaaaay behind, but the important thing is that I am now officially on the zucchini noodle train. It’s all thanks to Ali over at Inspiralized, because she was generous enough to send an Inspiralizer my way.

You guys.

It’s SO cool. You must get one and make all the spiralized things.

I absolutely loved zoodles, but I’m super excited to try sweet potato noodles and apple noodles!

Because I was a newbie to zucchini noodles, I wanted to ease my way in and serve these Turkey Meatballs with half zucchini noodles and half whole grain spaghetti.

I personally loved the combination. I still felt really healthy, but my carbo loving self, still got some beloved carbs in. 😉

Oh! And I should mention that I kept that zoodles raw and let me just say hellloooo amazing texture. Juicy meatballs, plus tender pasta, and slightly crunchy zucchini?

Ah.Mazing.

Is this turkey meatballs recipe healthy?

Yes!

Each meatball is only 60 calories and has 3.3 grams of fat, .3 grams of total carbs, and almost 8 grams of protein!

These meatballs are basically turkey and spices, so, to me, that’s super healthy!

Healthy. Yes please.

And the texture of this dish is spot on, but what really gets me is how darn flavorful these Turkey Meatballs are.

Slightly salty and cheesy thanks to the parmesan, and the combo of garlic, onion, and basil is just

. . .

UGH it’s too good!

Healthy, quick, and easy, these Turkey Meatballs are for sure going to be a family favorite.
