INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 medium Fresh Tomato
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 small Onion
A few leaves Fresh Basil
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, mix the lean ground turkey with 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 of a finely chopped small onion, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Heat the olive oil in the skillet and gently brown the meatballs on all sides over medium heat. Reduce heat and cook through until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another pan, simmer chopped fresh tomato along with the remaining minced garlic and onion. Let the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce; add salt, pepper, and tear in some fresh basil leaves in the last minute of simmering.
Prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente and then toss with a little bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Plate the spaghetti, top with turkey meatballs, and generously spoon fresh tomato sauce over the dish.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
