Follow The Directions

01

Step

20 mins

Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender. (Approximately 20 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

Drain the sweet potatoes, mash with a fork in a large bowl, and set aside to cool.

03

Step

10 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

04

Step

40 mins

In the bowl with the sweet potatoes, mix in the shredded zucchini and yellow squash. Add the ground turkey and season generously with black pepper. Gently combine until just mixed to avoid compacting the meat.

05

Step

Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place them in a 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. (Approximately 35 to 40 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the meatball mixture.
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the baking dish or use parchment paper.
These meatballs are also delicious served with a simple tomato sauce or a creamy avocado dip.
