INGREDIENTS

5 oz Lean Ground Turkey (142g)

1 large Egg

1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped

1 tbsp Fresh Oregano, chopped

1 cup Cherry Tomatoes

1 tsp Olive Oil

3/4 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta

Salt and Pepper to taste

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat the oven to 400°F.

• 2

  In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped basil, chopped oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to form a consistent meat mixture.

• 3

  Form the mixture into small meatballs (about 4-5 per serving) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• 4

  Roast the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 5

  While the meatballs are roasting, spread the cherry tomatoes on another baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the tomatoes soften and begin to burst.

• 6

  Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

• 7

  Toss the cooked pasta with the roasted cherry tomatoes and a little of the pan juices to create a light, flavorful sauce.

• 8

  Plate the pasta and top with the herb-garlic turkey meatballs. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve warm.
