INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1 medium Tomato
0.5 small Onion
1 clove Garlic
4 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with finely chopped onion (half a small onion), minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined to form well-mixed meatballs.
Shape the turkey mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs bake, prepare the tomato sauce by dicing the medium tomato and roughly chopping the fresh basil. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the diced tomato for 2-3 minutes until soft, then add the chopped basil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-4 minutes so the flavors meld.
Prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Plate the cooked spaghetti, top with the baked turkey meatballs, and generously spoon the fresh herb tomato sauce over the dish.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
