Ingrédients

1 pound ground turkey

1 medium zucchini, grated

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano until well combined.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are browned but not fully cooked through.
Transfer the browned meatballs back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
