These are not the meatballs you cook in a sauce but rather eaten more like a burger. They are a great way to use up that summer zucchini and are perfect for a main dish along side some juicy roasted bell pepper or Peperonata or Caponata but my favorite way is in a bun with Roasted Bell Peppers or Peperonata!
Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey
2 zucchini
2 cloves garlic
3/4 - 1 cup fine plain bread crumbs
1/2- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg
salt and pepper
olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 375
Grate the zucchini and place in a bowl with the turkey and egg.
Add in cheese and bread crumbs starting with the smaller amount, feeling the texture to see if you want more breadcrumbs and/or cheese. It should be moist yet firm enough to form and hold a ball.
Add in salt and pepper and mix well.
Form balls and place on baking sheet, drizzle each with olive oil and bake 15 minutes.
Then flip meatballs drizzle more olive oil on top and bake for 2-5 minutes under the broiler (I keep my oven door open and stand right there) but WATCH closely as they will burn quickly!
My favorite way to eat these are on a bun with Peperonata!
