These tasty little meatballs are packed with flavor! The combo of our Lemon Garlic, black pepper and fresh ginger is pretty awesome. Make these for dinner and top a salad, toss with noodles, or serve over cauliflower rice.
Serves 4
1 zucchini
2 tablespoons Tessemae's Lemon Garlic
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound lean ground turkey
salad, cauliflower rice, or noodles, for serving
- Grate the zucchini very finely, on the smallest side of a box grater or using a micro plane. You need 1 cup total. In a mixing bowl, stir together the zucchini, Lemon Garlic, egg, garlic, cilantro, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add the turkey and mix until combined (hands work best!).
- Heat your broiler to high and line a sheet pan with foil. Form the meat mixture into about 25 balls, using a heaping tablespoon for each. Place on the sheet pan and broil until browned, about 5 minutes. Turn over with tongs, and continue to broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
- Alternatively, heat more Lemon Garlic in a large non stick or cast iron skillet. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
