INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Marinara
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for the meatballs.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, minced garlic, whole wheat breadcrumbs, and chopped fresh basil. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, roughly 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, until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small pot over medium heat, gently warm the fresh marinara sauce and incorporate any remaining basil for an extra burst of flavor.
Plate the spaghetti, top with the baked meatballs, and finish by drizzling the warm marinara sauce over the dish. Serve immediately.
