INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 medium Fresh Tomato, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey and egg white. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then gently mix until just combined.
Lightly form the mixture into small meatballs, ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the meatballs. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and thoroughly cooked in the center, about 8-10 minutes.
While the meatballs cook, prepare the tomato sauce. In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the chopped fresh tomato and cook until it softens and breaks down slightly, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped basil into the tomato sauce, and season with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat or prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions if not already cooked. If using pre-cooked pasta, warm it gently in a pan.
To serve, plate the cooked whole wheat spaghetti, top with the freshly made tomato sauce, and arrange the turkey meatballs over the pasta.
Garnish with a little extra fresh basil if desired and enjoy your balanced meal.
