Keto

650 g ground turkey or ground beef

60 ml mayonnaise

0.75 tsp salt

0.5 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp onion powder

3 tbsp olive oil, for frying

2 garlic clove, finely choppedgarlic cloves, finely chopped

120 ml tomato sauce

240 ml water

2 tbsp finely chopped, sun dried tomatoes in oil

salt and ground black pepper

650 g zucchini, spiralized

2 tbsp olive oil

120 ml shredded Parmesan cheese

60 ml fresh basil, chopped

In a large bowl,  add the ground turkey,  mayo,  salt,  pepper,  and onion powder.  gently mix together with your hands,  or a wooden spoon. 

step 1

Lightly moisten hands with water,  and form the meat mixture into 1" (3 cm) meatballs. 

step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan,  over medium heat.  place the meatballs in the pan,  evenly spaced out,  and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned on all sides (this can be done in batches if needed).  remove the meatballs from the pan with a slotted spoon,  set aside,  and keep warm.  leave the fat and drippings in the pan,  and heat over medium temperature. 

step 3

Add the garlic to the pan,  stirring frequently until lightly browned.  then add the tomato sauce ingredients and whisk them together.  bring to a boil,  and then reduce the temperature to medium-low.  simmer uncovered for 5 minutes,  stirring frequently.  add the meatballs,  stir to coat,  and simmer uncovered for 2-3 more minutes,  or until the sauce has thickened.  set aside. 

step 4

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  place the zoodles in the boiling water for just one minute,  and then drain in a colander.  transfer the zoodles to a serving platter,  drizzle with olive oil,  and season with salt and pepper to taste. 

step 5

Serve the meatballs and tomato sauce over a bed of zoodles.  garnish with the shredded parmesan cheese and fresh,  chopped basil.
