INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/2 cup Fresh Marinara Sauce
1 large Egg White
1 clove Garlic
1/4 small Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
A few Fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, finely minced garlic, and finely chopped onion. Add a few torn fresh basil leaves, salt, and pepper to taste.
Mix the ingredients until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through, turning them halfway to ensure even browning.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Gently heat the fresh marinara sauce in a small saucepan with a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Stir occasionally until warmed through.
Plate the cooked spaghetti, top with the baked turkey meatballs, and generously spoon the warm marinara sauce over the dish.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
