Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles: A Healthy Twist

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Ive been making zucchini noodles long before I got my spiralizer, but now they are so popular you can even buy them pre-cut in the supermarket. Zucchini is one of my favorite veggies, serving them in place of noodles is my favorite low-carb swap.

    I made a pot of my Crock Pot Italian Turkey Meatballs at my toddlers request but rather than eating mine with pasta, I served it over (zucchini noodles) for a lighter low-carb alternative (perfect for using up zucchini from your garden). If your family isnt a fan (like my husband) just cook up some pasta for them and everyones happy!,When it comes to making zucchini noodles, a good rule of thumb I like to follow is to use one medium zucchini per person. You lose some when you cut them and the shrink a bit when they cook. To cut them, use my spiralizer (affil link) or you can use a mandolin (affil link) fitted with a julienne blade. If using a mandolin, be careful the blades are VERY sharp.
