INGREDIENTS

4 oz Lean Ground Turkey

2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)

1 cup Fresh Tomatoes (chopped)

2 cloves Garlic

2 tbsp Onion (chopped)

3 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)

1 tsp Olive Oil

Pinch of Salt

Pinch of Black Pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

• 2

  In a bowl, mix lean ground turkey with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and half of the chopped basil. Form the mixture into small meatballs.

• 3

  Lightly spray or use a minimal amount of olive oil in the skillet and brown the meatballs on all sides until they are nearly cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

• 4

  While the meatballs are browning, cook the whole wheat spaghetti in a pot of boiling, salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

• 5

  For the fresh herb marinara, combine the chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped onions, remaining basil, and a teaspoon of olive oil in a small saucepan. Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

• 6

  Add the partially cooked meatballs to the marinara sauce and allow them to simmer together for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring they are fully cooked and infused with the flavors.

• 7

  Plate the spaghetti, top with the turkey meatballs, and generously spoon the fresh herb marinara over the top. Serve warm.
