Turkey Zucchini Meatballs

Turkey Zucchini Meatball Recipe

We love turkey zucchini meatballs and are always looking for ways to perfect them! A healthy dinner starts with healthy ingredients and these yummy meatballs have lean turkey, oatmeal,  and 2 whole cups of shredded zucchini!

After the meatballs have baked in the oven, we give them a light and tasty glaze with BBQ sauce. No one can resist these meatballs and they are every bit delicious as they are good for you.

 

Shredded Zucchini for the Meatballs

We use a small shredder to easily shred a small/medium zucchini. It only takes about 2 minutes to shred your zucchini into 2 cups. Make sure to wash and dry the zucchini before you start to shred. If you have leftover zucchini, toss in a baggie and store to sneak in other recipes.

Ingredients Needed for Zucchini Meatballs:

Ground turkey – 85% Lean
Zucchini
Shredded Parmesan cheese
Oatmeal
Egg
Lemon pepper seasoning
BBQ sauce
