INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Canned Crushed Tomatoes
4 Tbsp Fresh Basil
2 cloves Garlic
2 slices Red Onion
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground turkey with one large egg white, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil, one minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently mix until evenly combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, around 1-inch in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté the remaining minced garlic and finely chopped red onion slices until soft and translucent.
Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet along with the remaining 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil. Simmer the marinara sauce for 5-7 minutes, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
While the sauce simmers, bake the turkey meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.
In a separate pot, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine the spaghetti with the simmered basil marinara sauce, then top with the turkey meatballs.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nutritious meal.
