Step-By-Step Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Mix the turkey, garlic, oregano, parsley, dried onion, parmesan cheese, egg, and oatmeal in a bowl and mix well.
Scoop the meat mixture into 12 meatballs and lay them on the baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
While the meatballs are cooking, use a julienne peeler, a spiralizer, or mandolin set on the julienne setting and cut the zucchini into “noodles”. Place the noodles in a large microwave dish with a lid and microwave for 2 minutes.
Heat the marinara sauce in a large sauce pan. Add the cooked meatballs to the hot sauce and pour over zucchini noodles.
