another great bite to eat for kids. hidden veggies! super yummy!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3/4 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup grated carrots
3/4 breadcrumbs (seasoned or unseasoned)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Line a large baking sheet with wax paper.
Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix together with your hands. Do not overwork the meat!
Using a medium cookie scoop, (or about 2 tablespoons), form the meat into individual balls and place onto prepared baking sheet.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs into the skillet and let them brown on one side. Turn over carefully with tongs. Continue cooking until meatballs are cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and place on paper towel-lined plate. Cook in batches if all meatballs don't all fit at once. (*These can be frozen for later! Allow meatballs you plan to freeze to cool, then place in a Ziplock bag to store in freezer.)
While meatballs are cooking, heat your favorite spaghetti sauce in a saucepan. Transfer cooked meatballs (that you plan to eat that night) to spaghetti sauce to warm through.
Serve with pasta or zoodles (zucchini noodles).
