INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Canned Crushed Tomatoes
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with half of the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried basil. Form the mixture into small meatballs.
Drizzle the olive oil into the skillet and brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. They do not need to be fully cooked through as they will finish cooking in the sauce.
Finely dice the onion and the remaining garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly and finish cooking the meatballs, about 5-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well.
To serve, plate the spaghetti and top with turkey meatballs and hearty tomato sauce. Garnish with extra dried basil or fresh herbs if desired.
