Using a large spoon or a batter scoop, scoop out 2 Tbls. portion of turkey mixture.


Make an indentation with your thumb and fill with 1 tsp. of feta.


Fold turkey over to seal and roll gently to make a ball.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


Heat a saute pan with a little bit of oil.


Brown meatballs on all sides over medium high heat.


Transfer to a baking dish and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.


Now get moving on your pasta while these bad boys cook!


Pasta: Whisk eggs, half of parmesan, and feta together and set aside.


In the same pan you used to cook the meatballs, cook zucchini over medium heat until lightly browned. Set aside.


Cook linguine in boiling water until al dente.


Drain (reserving a bit of pasta water) and return to the pot.


Immediately add egg mixture and zucchini and toss for several minutes.


If the sauce becomes too thick, add a few spoonfuls of pasta water and toss.


Season with salt and pepper and serve with meatballs, remaining parmesan, and herb garnish.
