Low Carb Parmesan Turkey Zucchini Meatballs
October 5, 2017
These Low Carb Parmesan Turkey Zucchini Meatballs are full of flavor and easy to make. It’s a great main meal for those following a low carb diet.
I set out to make turkey and blog about turkey zucchini meatballs about two months ago. The recipe was written in my book, photos were taken and everyone LOVED them for dinner. The problem is that I ran into several issues.
Problem 1: I hated the photos that I took, so I saved the recipe to make it for future use. They were brown with nothing appetizing about them. Yes, I would make them again in a heartbeat but I doubt you would.
Problem 2: I started a low carb diet almost a month ago and 1/2 of the ingredients that were in the original recipe are no longer on my consumption list.
With that being said, I decided to make a NEW batch of low carb Parmesan Turkey Zucchini Meatballs. I typically add panko breadcrumbs, but they were omitted for this batch. These meatballs consist of turkey, eggs, and cheese. This recipe is excellent if you are following a low carb diet. The rest of the family enjoyed the meatballs on top of cooked linguine noodles. I was full after just eating the Parmesan Turkey Zucchini Meatballs just by themselves.
