INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and chopped fresh basil. Mix until just combined to form a homogenous mixture without overworking the meat.
Shape the turkey mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the meatballs are baking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions, then drain.
In a small saucepan, warm the fresh tomato sauce with a drizzle of olive oil and additional minced garlic, letting the flavors meld over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the tomato sauce, then gently toss in the baked meatballs.
Finish by garnishing with extra fresh basil, and adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.
