Eat better! Not less! Italian style 😋🙌🇮🇹 wow and there’s typo on the photo 🤦🏼♀️ oh wells….
“Spaghetti” and meatballs 🍝with a side of bacon and Brussels 🥓🤤👏 .
I loveee spaghetti squash! SO easy to make just cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, bake, and then scrape out the “spaghetti” with a fork 👏🙌 I love how much volume of spaghetti you get for relatively low carbs! Here I have 200g and it’s only 14g of carbs! 200g of regular spaghetti pasta would be 145g of carbs😅 which is fine depending on your carb goals 😃
Added mushrooms, red onion, and diced canned tomatoes to my “spaghetti” along with some homemade turkey zucchini meatballs (Recipe below)
To give more volume, carbs, fat, and protein my meal I sautéed some bacon and brussel sprouts 😜🙌
Lean Ground Turkey-Zucchini-Red Pepper-Green Onion Meatballs
This is FOR SURE the best use of ground turkey I’ve ever done! Who knew lean ground turkey could be SO juicy! The water from the zucchini for sure helps! I want to try this again with extra lean ground turkey and see if that will still keep it juicy. Using the extra lean will bring the fat grams way down 👌
Ingredients: 1 lb of meat, 3 stalks of green onion, 200g zucchini, and 8 tbsp Red Pepper Eggplant & Garlic Spread from Trader Joe’s
Directions:
- Grate zucchini and green onion (I used the food processor grate option to made this REALLY simple)
- Combine meat, zucchini, onion, and spread in a bowl (just use your hands 😜) and form into 20 meatballs
- Cook meatballs in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes
- Enjoy 🤤
