Ingredients
- One generously-sized sweet potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
- Shredded 1/2 portion of a medium zucchini
- Shredded 1/2 portion of a medium yellow squash
- A pound of ground turkey
- Seasoned with a sprinkling of black pepper
Step 1
In a spacious pot, immerse sweet potatoes in salted water and bring to a boil. Let them simmer over medium-low heat until they turn tender, which usually takes around 20 minutes. Once done, drain the water and proceed to mash the sweet potatoes using a fork in a large bowl. Leave them aside to cool.
Step 2
Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for the upcoming baking session.
Step 3
Combine zucchini, yellow squash, and turkey with the mashed sweet potatoes in the bowl. Season the mixture with a sprinkle of black pepper. Proceed to shape the blend into 1-inch balls and carefully arrange them in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 4
Pop the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake until the meatballs no longer show any pinkness in the center, typically for about 35 to 40 minutes.
