Instructions
Prepare the mixture
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, squeezed dry zucchini, breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined and do not overmix.
Shape the meatballs
Roll the mixture into small 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet with a little space between each meatball. You should get approximately 24 to 28 small meatballs from this mixture.
Bake until cooked through
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly golden on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cool and serve
Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a simple tomato sauce for dipping or toss them with pasta for a complete toddler meal.
