INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked) – approx 1/2 cup dry
1/2 cup Fresh Marinara Sauce
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with one egg white, dried oregano, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Form the turkey mixture into small, evenly sized meatballs (about 8-10 meatballs depending on size).
Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil and arrange the meatballs on the sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, cook whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the fresh marinara sauce with chopped fresh basil, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with a portion of the heated marinara sauce.
Serve the turkey meatballs on top of the spaghetti and drizzle any remaining marinara over the dish.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and enjoy your balanced meal.
