INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (no salt added)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine lean ground turkey with minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
Form the turkey mixture into small meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the tomato sauce and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Stir in the chopped fresh basil into the sauce, reserving a few leaves for garnish if desired.
In a separate pot, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Plate the spaghetti and top with the turkey meatballs, then spoon the fresh basil tomato sauce generously over the dish.
Garnish with additional basil if desired and serve warm.
