Turkey Zucchini Meatballs with Creamy Herb Sauce

Makes 1 serving (5–6 meatballs)

Elevate your weeknight dinner with these juicy, savory low-FODMAP turkey zucchini meatballs with creamy herb sauce that are completely SIBO-friendly. Lean ground turkey is blended with finely grated zucchini, gluten-free breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, and green onion tops, then baked to tender perfection. Drizzled with a refreshing, cool dip crafted from lactose-free Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh chives, and garlic-infused olive oil, this single-serving dish delivers comfort and vibrant flavor in every bite.

Designed specifically for sensitive digestive systems, this gluten-free and lactose-free meatball recipe delivers maximum moisture and savory depth without any high-FODMAP garlic or onion bulbs. Squeezing the zucchini dry keeps the meatballs light and easy to digest, while fructan-free garlic oil provides that classic Italian aroma without triggering bloating, gas, or IBS flare-ups. It is an exceptional, high-protein prep option for anyone navigating a strict SIBO protocol, prioritizing gut health, or craving a clean, macro-friendly meal.
