Turkey Zucchini Meatballs image

Turkey meatballs with zucchini baked right in. We make them into large meatballs because they are basically a meal in and of themselves, but feel free to make them into smaller sizes! Also great with pesto and tomatoes!

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup shredded zucchini
¾ cup grated onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 slices multigrain bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup milk
1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute zucchini and onion until softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture cool to room temperature.
  • Soak bread in a small bowl with milk until milk is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Remove bread and gently squeeze out excess milk. Place bread in a food processor and pulse until mixture forms fine crumbs resembling wet sand.
  • Combine ground turkey with the sauteed zucchini mixture, bread crumbs, oregano, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add eggs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley; mix thoroughly. Form mixture into 12 large meatballs using a large ice cream scoop.
  • Place 1/3 cup flour in a shallow dish. Dredge meatballs in flour and place 1 inch apart in the prepared baking pan. Drizzle olive oil over meatballs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are lightly browned on top and no longer pink in the center, 30 to 38 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

2 medium zucchini, fresh cut in 1/4-inch chunks

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Use medium-sized, tender zucchini for best results. Avoid large, mature zucchini, as they tend to be tough and seedy.
  • Shred the zucchini coarsely. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Brown the ground beef or turkey thoroughly. This will help to develop the flavor of the dish and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're using a small pan, cook the meat in batches. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the meat from browning properly.
  • Season the dish to taste. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.
  • Serve immediately. Zucchini Joe is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Zucchini Joe is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. The combination of ground beef or turkey, zucchini, and eggs makes for a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious recipe, give Zucchini Joe a try.
