INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Egg White
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently until just combined. Form the mixture into small meatballs, roughly the size of a walnut.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic clove and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the marinara sauce. Allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Plate the cooked spaghetti and top with the garlicky marinara sauce. Arrange the baked meatballs over the spaghetti.
Garnish with additional dried herbs if desired and serve warm.
