Ground turkey with skin can have more fat than does ground beef. Although turkey breast is slightly leaner, it has less flavour than dark meat.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tsp(s)

Onion

1 medium, chopped

Garlic

2 clove(s), large, minced

Canned crushed tomatoes

28 oz

Fresh basil

2 tbsp(s), chopped

Sugar

½ tsp(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Uncooked extra lean ground turkey breast

1 oz

Raw egg

1 large

Onion

2 tbsp(s), minced

Garlic

1 clove(s), large, minced

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ pinch(es)

Uncooked spaghetti

6 oz

Black pepper

¼ pinch(es)

Grated Parmesan cheese

4 tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil. Sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, basil, sugar, salt and pepper; cook, stirring as needed, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, to prepare meatballs, preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, mixing lightly. Form into 24 meatballs; place on a baking sheet. Bake until browned and slightly pink on inside, 15-20 minutes. Add meatballs to sauce; cook, stirring as needed, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  3. Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and place in a serving bowl. Serve, topped with sauce; sprinkle with cheese.
