    three Asian Turkey Meatballs on a bed of zucchini noodles

    These Asian Meatballs are made with ground turkey and flavored with ginger, cilantro and scallions and baked to perfection for a wonderful compliment to rice or zucchini noodles and a vegetable.

    A couple of weeks ago it was Turkey Taco Balls for the win, this week it’s these Asian Meatballs. They actually kind of taste like the inside of a wonton, which is my favorite part. These have are almost as popular in our house now as the infamous healthy turkey meatballs.

    I haven’t used my spiralizer in long time so I decided these little meatballs would be perfect served over sautéed zucchini noodles seasoned with a ginger powder and pepper.   I saute my zoodles or about 5 minutes or less to keep them crisper.  Cook longer if you prefer them a little more soft.

    My husband and daughter had their meatballs over rice instead of zoodles and loved the flavor!

    You could also turn them into a wonderful little appetizer too.  Just roll them into much smaller sized meatballs and serve them at your next get-together.
