INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Egg White
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine the meatballs with the warm marinara sauce, gently stirring to coat them.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked whole wheat penne. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
