Made with Italian style turkey meatballs from my friends at Shady Brook Farms. They’re all about no-growth promoting antibiotics or added hormones or steroids in their meats and I totally love that!

So basically all the guess work is already done for you. All you have to do is sear them lightly in a skillet and then finish baking them in the oven with roasted pepper sauce. This roasted pepper sauce is made with cashews. The cashews add the creaminess to the sauce that you normally would add with cream or cheese.

It’s insanely creamy, luscious, and saucy. Then everything is baked a top of finely cubed zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion. You have a complete meal in no time to serve over brown rice of cauliflower mash as a low carb option.

    Can you do your own roasted red peppers instead of a jar?
