INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Egg White
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 Whole Wheat Breadstick
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
Pinch Garlic Powder
Pinch Italian Seasoning
Pinch Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs bake, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
For the breadsticks, brush the whole wheat breadstick with olive oil and sprinkle with a little extra garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Optionally, pop it in the oven for the last 5 minutes alongside the meatballs to crisp up.
Once cooked, plate the meatballs and drizzle with warmed marinara sauce. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Serve the meatballs alongside the garlic herb breadstick and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
