Turkey herb meatballs, zoodles

Serves 225 min545 kcal / serving

Egg-free turkey meatballs over zucchini noodles.

Ingredients
  • Ground turkey — 12¼ oz
  • Chia seeds (for chia egg, + 3 Tbsp water)
  • Arrowroot flour — 2 Tbsp
  • Green-onion tops — 2 Tbsp
  • Basil & parsley
  • Zucchini — 14 oz (2, spiralized)
  • Garlic-infused olive oil — 2 Tbsp
  • Sea salt & pepper
Method
  1. Stir the chia into 3 Tbsp water; rest 8 minutes.
  2. Mix the turkey, chia gel, arrowroot, green-onion tops, herbs and seasoning; roll into ~16 balls and chill 10 minutes.
  3. Brown the meatballs in the oil, then cover and cook through ~8 minutes (165°F / 74°C).
  4. Toss the zoodles in a hot pan 1–2 minutes only; serve with the meatballs and basil.
Notes

Chia-egg + arrowroot is the egg-free bind. Chill 10 minutes before frying or the balls slump in the pan. Zoodles cook in 1–2 minutes total; longer and they release water and the dish goes soupy.
