INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Egg White
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Homemade Fresh Herb Marinara
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until just combined to keep the meatballs tender.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes or until they are cooked through and lightly golden on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat the homemade fresh herb marinara in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
To serve, plate the cooked spaghetti, top with the turkey meatballs, and generously spoon the warm marinara over the dish.
Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
