Tender, flavorful, and easy to make and share, these Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini are a favorite family dinner.
– Ground turkey – Zucchini – Italian-flavored breadcrumbs – Parmesan cheese – Egg
Grate the zucchini and squeeze until very dry. If you don’t want to see the green in the meatball, peel the zucchini before grating.
In a medium bowl, mix the ingredients together with clean hands. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add ¼ cup grated onion for additional flavor. Make 2-tablespoon size meatballs. Roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 22-24 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. (To make in the air fryer, cook 12 minutes at 375 degrees F on a greased tray.)
Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce (or just plain!), or set aside to cool and freeze. Dice for older babies or younger toddlers as needed.
Store meatballs in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Or, let them cool fully and you can freeze in a freezer bag for up to 6 months.
