These turkey meatballs are a staple in my kitchen for a reason. By folding grated zucchini into the lean turkey, you get a tender, juicy bite that stays moist every time. It’s a simple, honest way to add extra greens to your dinner plate.
A balanced, protein-rich dinner that pairs lean ground turkey with fresh zucchini. Prep these in 20 minutes for a healthy weeknight meal that keeps perfectly in the fridge.
Don't skip the zucchini-squeezing step. Removing the moisture is the key to achieving a great sear without the meat falling apart in the pan.
