Zucchini Turkey Meatballs — my go-to protein prep 🦃

I make a batch of these every single week and here’s why: one scoop = one macro number, every time.

I use an ice cream scooper to portion them (no scale, no guessing) so I always know exactly what I’m eating. Running low on protein that day? I eat 3. Already close to my number? I eat 2. Same meal, two totally different macro fits — that’s what makes it simple, not restrictive.

The recipe:

1 lb ground turkey (93/7)

1 tbsp fresh parsley

1 tbsp fresh basil

1 tsp salt

Garlic, pepper, Italian seasoning

2 egg whites

2 tbsp rolled oats

1/2 zucchini, shredded

Mix, scoop into 8 equal balls, bake at 375° for ~20 min. Done.

Per meatball (makes 8):

100 calories | 12g protein | 4g fat | ~2g carbs

3 meatballs = 36g protein

2 meatballs = 24g protein

This is why I call it “eat smarter, not less” — one recipe, zero decision fatigue, and it flexes to whatever your day needs. 🙌
