INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Egg White
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, roughly 1-1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, gently warm the marinara sauce with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Once baked, transfer the meatballs to the saucepan with the marinara sauce and let them simmer together for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
Plate the cooked whole wheat spaghetti and top with the turkey meatballs and marinara sauce. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed Italian-inspired meal.
