Zucchinis are naturally very moist. When cooking them, they will render water which can cause your noodles to become soggy and/or your sauce to become watery. In order to prevent this, sprinkle salt onto your spiralized noodles prior to cooking to help extract that moisture. Let them sit for a while with the salt before cooking for perfectly cooked zucchini noodles!

LEAN-STRUCTIONS:
1) In large bowl, combine ground turkey, cheese, grated garlic, italian seasoning, bouillon cube, red chilli flakes, chopped cilantro, and salt & pepper. Mix well and then form into medium balls! Set aside.
2) Melt 2 tablespoons ghee (or butter) in large skillet over low heat. Add in your turkey meatballs and cook for 6-10 minutes (or until cooked through). Make sure you cover them in butter, then remove and add to a plate.
3) In same skillet, add remaining butter, lemon juice, hot sauce, minced garlic, more chili flakes if you want it spicy (and it’ll boost your metabolism), and zucchini noodles. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring regularly. The zucchini noodles are done when they are nice and crisp!
4) Move the low carb zucchini noodles over, add the turkey meatballs back in, and reheat for a couple minutes! Enjoy the leanness!
