INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey (142g)
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (56g, dry)
1 cup Fresh Tomatoes, chopped (180g)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Mix gently and form into small meatballs (about 4-5 meatballs per serving).
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking tray and bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through.
While the meatballs bake, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the remaining garlic until fragrant, then add the chopped fresh tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Stir in the chopped basil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Combine the spaghetti with the tomato sauce and gently toss to coat evenly.
Plate the spaghetti, then top with the baked turkey meatballs. Garnish with extra basil if desired, and serve warm.
