In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined – do not overmix.
Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Pour tomato sauce over the meatballs in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the meatballs are simmering, prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler.
If you prefer your zoodles slightly cooked, you can quickly sauté them in a separate pan with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes, until tender-crisp. Alternatively, you can add them directly to the bowls raw.
Divide the zoodles into bowls.
Top with the turkey meatballs and tomato sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce.
You can substitute ground chicken or beef for the ground turkey.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
