Introduce the recipe as Low FODMAP turkey meatballs with zucchini noodles.

Explain Low FODMAP diet and its benefits for those with IBS or stomach issues.

Discuss the use of green onions and alternatives like chives for flavor without using garlic and onions.

Add fresh basil, parsley, green onion, one egg, salt, and pepper to a food processor and blend into a chunky paste.

Add ground dark meat turkey to a bowl and mix in the herb and egg mixture.

Incorporate almond meal into the turkey mixture, ensuring it stays Low FODMAP compliant.

Chill the mixture in the fridge for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Scoop the mixture into small portions and roll into meatballs, aiming for about 28 to 30 balls.

Heat garlic-infused olive oil in a large cast iron skillet and sear the meatballs until golden brown, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Once seared, add the meatballs back to the skillet and pour in Thrive Market's organic marinara sauce, stirring in finely chopped basil.

Simmer the meatballs in the sauce on low heat for 15-20 minutes.

Demonstrate how to make zucchini noodles (zoodles) using a peeler or mandolin, cutting the zucchini into pappardelle shapes.
