Notes
I use my baked Asian turkey meatballs for these bowls, but really, any leftover meatballs will do. The sauce helps tie everything together.Feel free to substitute tamari for the soy sauce if you want to make this gluten-free. (Also check your hoisin sauce to make sure it’s gluten-free.)I love going ALL veggie here, but you can absolutely do a mixture of zucchini noodles and regular pasta noodles in this dish. Cook the pasta separately to make sure it gets perfectly tender and then mix it in with the veggies before serving.See the blog post above for tips on making spiralized zucchini noodles.
