INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Fresh Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Fresh Basil (3 sprigs)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with a minced garlic clove, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently to keep the meat tender.
Form the turkey mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through and lightly golden.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Warm the fresh marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the warmed marinara sauce, then gently fold in the baked turkey meatballs.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
