Zoodles With Buttery Turkey Meatballs

 

Hello, hello.

How’s everyone doing this week?!

Many of you requested recipes ideas to make during this time so I thought I’d share one that I was eating on repeat before we entered quarantine. I go in and out of zoodle phases and I’m definitely IN ONE right now. I really have been loving everything about this combo of ingredients which I’ll get to in a minute.

You can definitely whip up some homemade turkey meatballs to use for this dish but if you’re feeling lazy, the frozen ones are pretty good! I personally like to use the ones from Trader Joe’s or the Rosina brand.

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this recipe for a quick lunch or dinner! It probably takes me about 15 to 20 minutes start to finish!

INGREDIENTS

ZUCCHINI (1-2 for a single serving but this really depends on the size and how hungry I am)

FROZEN TURKEY MEATBALLS

OLIVE OIL

BUTTER

GARLIC (fresh or jarred)

NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY

REP PEPPER FLAKES (optional)

SALT & PEPPER

PARMESAN CHEESE

INSTRUCTIONS

Spiral the zucchini (you can also buy pre-spiraled which will save a bit of time)

Spray skillet with non-stick cooking spray

Heat meatballs through in a skillet over medium heat (you can cover and add a little bit of water to speed up the process)

Reduce to low-medium heat and add about 1 tbsp butter and a splash of olive oil (or more for more servings)

Add garlic and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds

Add zoodles (I only heat these for about 30 seconds because I prefer them on the crisper sided)

Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese
