Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, almond flour, egg, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined — don't overwork.

2. 2

   Roll into 16–18 meatballs, about 1.5 inches each.

3. 3

   Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs on all sides, about 6 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour marinara sauce over meatballs, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes until cooked through.

5. 5

   While meatballs cook, lightly sauté zucchini noodles in a dry pan over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, until just tender.

6. 6

   Serve meatballs and sauce over zucchini noodles. Garnish with fresh basil and nutritional yeast.
