INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 large Egg White
1/4 small Onion
1 Garlic Clove
4 Fresh Basil leaves
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and a couple of torn fresh basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix gently until all ingredients are just combined, then shape the mixture into small meatballs.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the meatballs are baking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the fresh tomato sauce with a few additional basil leaves for extra flavor.
Plate the cooked pasta, top with the baked turkey meatballs, and spoon the warm tomato sauce over the top.
Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a garnish of fresh basil. Serve warm and enjoy!
