This recipe is adapted from my Everyday Food cookbook. Spaghetti and meatballs is a classic and a comfort. This is a great recipe because it's simple, healthy, and delicious! They are a favorite of ours and they have a lot of flavor. I was surprised when I first made them because ground turkey that is not properly seasoned can be bland, but the parmesan gives the meatballs a great flavor! This recipe is a favorite of everyone's in our family, even my son loves it! 
1 lb. ground turkey
1 lb. ground turkey
1 large egg
1 teaspoon onion powder (or one small onion, minced)
1/4 c. dried breadcrumbs
1/4 c. Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated
1/4 c. chopped fresh flat leaf parsley (this can be left out-or you can use dried or fresh herbs that you have on hand)
8 oz. pasta or 4 cups of zucchini noodles
2 cups pasta sauce
1. Add the first 7 ingredients to a large bowl. Mix by hand until combined. Form the mixture into 16 meatballs.
2. Add pasta sauce to a large saucepan and arrange meatballs in the sauce. Cook the meatballs until cooked through, turning carefully to cook evenly.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta (if using) in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente according to the package instructions. If cooking with zoodles, add the zoodles to the pan with the meatballs and sauce and cook 2 minutes.
4. If using pasta, drain and add sauce and meatballs. These make great leftovers!
