INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 Egg
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with a beaten egg, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the fresh marinara: In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped fresh tomatoes. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt, pepper, and additional basil if desired.
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the fresh marinara sauce and gently toss.
Plate the spaghetti and top with the turkey meatballs. Garnish with extra basil and a light drizzle of olive oil if desired.
