Preheat the oven to 450° F. Grease a baking sheet lightly with olive oil. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Heat olive oil in a large pot, enough to fit all the zucchini. Add garlic and allow it to sizzle for few seconds, add the zucchini, chili flakes and Italian herb mix. Stir and saute until well mixed. Add salt and cook for 40-45 minutes stirring occasionally. Once the vegetable comes go boil it will give out lots of liquid. Cook on medium heat until the zucchini is very soft and disintegrating, no need to cook our all the liquid. Take it off the heat, add ½ the parmesan, chopped lemon pieces, lemon juice, and season if needed cover and keep warm. You may want to mash some of the zucchini to make some sauce. While the sauce cooks make the meatballs and cook the pasta.
Boil the pasta until al dente. Before draining, scoop out ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
Add the turkey, grated part cheese, breadcrumbs, the seasonings, and a pinch each of salt and pepper to a bowl. Mix to combine. Coat your hands with olive oil and roll the meat into tablespoon-size balls (this will make 20 meatballs).
Place on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Once the pasta is cooked mix it with the sauce. If needed add some of the pasta liquid and heat through. Mix the capers and meatballs.
Divide into 4-5 bowls equally and serve garnished with parmesan cheese, basil leaves.
