INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 handful Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 Egg White
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, and a finely minced garlic clove. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut, and 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 are baking, prepare the sauce by halving the cherry tomatoes and tossing them in a small pan with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Allow them to simmer over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
Add the fresh basil leaves to the tomatoes during the last minute of simmering, then remove the sauce from heat.
Cook whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Toss the spaghetti with the warm tomato basil sauce, then gently nestle the turkey meatballs on top.
Serve immediately, garnishing with extra basil if desired.
