INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, minced garlic (from 2 cloves), finely chopped onion, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a tablespoon of chopped fresh basil. Mix until just combined and form into small meatballs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the lean turkey meatballs. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Transfer the meatballs to a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and onion (if desired extra flavor, or reserve from meatball mix), then add the tomato sauce, simmering for about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and the remaining fresh basil.
Prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
To serve, place the spaghetti on a plate, top with the baked turkey meatballs, and generously spoon over the rich tomato sauce.
Optional: Garnish with extra fresh basil and a light drizzle of olive oil.
