Chicken Zucchini Meatballs
These Mediterranean-style Chicken Zucchini Meatballs are simple to make and bake up in the oven for an easy weeknight (or anytime) meal!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup zucchini shredded
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Finely chop the herbs and onion. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
- To form the mixture into meatballs I like to use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the mixture (about a golfball size). Lightly grease your hands with a bit of oil and roll the mixture in your palms to form the meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
