INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Extra Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash
1 medium Fresh Tomato
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the turkey meatballs.
In a bowl, combine the extra lean ground turkey with minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, until fully cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the spaghetti squash. Cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, and roast it face down on a baking sheet at 400°F for about 30 minutes or until tender. Once cooled, use a fork to scrape out the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
For the sauce, chop the fresh tomato and mix it in a small saucepan with a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Add chopped fresh basil towards the end and season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the dish by layering the spaghetti squash on a plate, topping with turkey meatballs, and drizzling the fresh basil tomato sauce over. Garnish with extra basil if desired, and serve warm.
