Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounce ground turkey
  • 16 ounce ground hot Italian sausage
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 medium zucchini (shredded and strained)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Gather and prep all ingredients. Grate zucchini and press into a strainer to remove as much moisture as you can. Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, hot Italian sausage, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, shredded zucchini, large egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Lightly mix together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
  • Roll the meatball mixture into golf ball-sized balls and place them into a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are almost cooked through. You may need to drain excess moisture from the dish.
  • Arrange the kale leaves around the meatballs in the casserole dish. Top the meatballs generously with your favorite marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • For an extra crispy cheese topping, you can optionally broil for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Keto Meatball Parm & Kale Casserole!
