INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Fresh Marinara Sauce
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with minced garlic, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on a lightly greased or parchment-lined 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, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Warm the fresh marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
To serve, plate the cooked pasta, top with the baked turkey meatballs, and generously spoon the warm marinara sauce over the dish. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
