Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a grater and squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
3. In a bowl, combine the turkey mince, squeezed zucchini, chopped fresh parsley, and black pepper.
4. Mix well with your hands until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
5. Form small meatballs about the size of a walnut and place them on the baking sheet.
6. Lightly brush or spray the meatballs with the olive oil.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and the surface is slightly golden.

Tips

• Squeezing the zucchini dry is the secret to preventing the meatballs from falling apart during baking.
• These bites are excellent cold and make a great addition to a meal-prep lunchbox.
