It may be holiday season but it doesn’t mean you have to fall out of your healthy lifestyle. Low carb pasta is always in season, especially when it’s made from organic vegetables. Top it off with homemade turkey meatballs
Zucchini Pasta
What you need:
– 4 mid-size zucchini
– 2 tablespoon of oil
– Pinch of salt
– Pesto sauce or marinara sauce
Step 1: Peel the skin off the zucchini
Step 2: Using the vegetable slicer (like this one), turn the zucchini into spiral pasta shapes (super easy)
Step 3: Sautée the zucchini in the olive oil and salt (I added mushrooms for an extra twist) until zucchini is well cooked (feels soft),
Step 4: Top with the pesto sauce or marinara sauce
Serving Size: 2 bigger side dishes
Calories per serving with Pesto Sauce: 265 calories
Turkey Meatballs

– ½ cup onion
– 1 package ground turkey
– ½ tbp garlic
– 1 egg
– ½ cup cheese
– Ground pepper (to taste)
– Basil (to taste)

– ( ¼ cup dried breadcrumbs if you want it to be more like the traditional meatballs but I left this out)
– Marinara Sauce (optional)
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and chop the onions
Step 2: Mix the onions, egg, ground turkey, cheese, (breadcrumbs), and seasoning in a bowl
Step 3: Place the mixture in round balls on a glass pan and bake until the meat is cooked

Enjoy
