Turkey Meatballs with Squash & Onions

Instructions

Step 1 In a bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 2 Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.

Step 3 Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through (about 10–12 minutes). Remove and set aside.

Step 4 In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the sliced onions until soft and lightly caramelized.

Step 5 Add zucchini and yellow squash to the pan. Season with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until tender.

Step 6 Return the meatballs to the pan and toss gently with the vegetables to combine.

Step 7 Cook for another 2 minutes to heat everything through.

Step 8 Remove from heat and serve warm.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or microwave in short intervals until warmed through.

Add a splash of water or broth when reheating to keep the meatballs moist.

This dish is great for meal prep and can be portioned into containers for easy lunches.
