INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1 medium Fresh Tomato
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
2 large Egg Whites
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg whites, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Finely dice the onion and garlic, then add them to the mixture.
Gently form the turkey mixture into bite-sized meatballs and place them on a lined baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the meatballs are baking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the fresh tomato sauce, coarsely chop the tomato and add it to a small saucepan along with a minced clove of garlic. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Toss the spaghetti with the fresh tomato sauce. Serve the turkey meatballs over the spaghetti, garnishing with extra oregano or fresh basil if desired.
