Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl combine ground turkey meat, olive oil, minced garlic, eggs, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, zucchini, and onion.
- Using your hands mix the meat mixture until the ingredients are evenly combined; the mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape when rolled into balls.
- Scoop two tablespoon sized balls of meat from the mix, roll into a firm ball, and place on prepared baking sheet; repeat with remaining meat.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they're evenly brown and cooked through.
- While the meatballs bake, make your marinara! Warm the oil in a large saucepan over medium-heat.
- Add in the garlic and sauté for one minute, or until the garlic is just golden (careful not to burn it here) and fragrant.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes, mix well to combine.
- Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- When meatballs are done baking, add them to the sauce, and serve.
