Asian Glazed Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles

SERVINGS: 5

INGREDIENTS

MEATBALLS
+ 20 oz lean ground turkey
+ ½ cup onion minced
+ 1 large egg
+ ½ cup almond flour
+ ¼ tsp onion powder
+ ½ tsp garlic powder
+ 2 tbsp white sesame seeds

GLAZE
+ ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
+ 4 garlic cloves minced
+ 1 tsp ginger grated
+ 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
+ 1 1/2 tbsp honey
+ 8 tbsp water

ZUCCHINI NOODLES
+ 2 garlic cloves minced
+ 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
+ 5 medium zucchini spiralized
+ salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
+ To make the meatballs: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add turkey, onion, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir and mix until everything is evenly mixed.
+ Scoop 1 ½ tbsp of meatball mixture. Gently roll into ball shape. Place onto baking sheet. Repeat with remaining meat, spacing balls about 1/2 inch apart.
+ Bake meatballs for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
+To make the glaze: Add all sauce ingredients except water into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce is slightly reduced. Taste and adjust as needed.
+ In a small bowl, completely dissolve 2 tsp of cornstarch into 8 tbsp of water. Add to sauce mixture and stir immediately so that the cornstarch does not cook and clump up. Gradually bring sauce to a simmer again and cook until sauce is thickened.
+ Using a pastry brush, brush meatballs with sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds.
+ To make zucchini noodles. In a large skillet, add olive oil and garlic. Bring to medium high heat.
+ Add in zucchini noodles. Cook until water releases from zucchini and zucchini noodles are just cooked (tender but still crisp). Add salt as needed.
