Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz Extra Lean Ground Turkey
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves
  • 2 tspn Salt
  • 2 tspn Garlic powder
  • 2 tspn Pepper
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup Egg Whites
  • 2 oz Barilla Protein Spaghetti I used the Angel Hair
  • ½ cup Pasta sauce I like Classico's Tomato & Basil flavor
  • 30 g Parmesean cheese Optional
  • Italian/Oregano seasoning Optional

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil to a small pot & set to medium heat
  • Season turkey with salt/pepper. Chop up garlic cloves & combine with ground turkey in a small bowl.
  • Using your hands, form small meatballs & dip in egg whites before placing in the hot pot. (The egg whites are just going to keep it all together, you won't even taste it)
  • Cook turkey in olive oil by rotating & browning all areas. I like to put the lid on to lock in moisture, allowing the meatballs to cook thoroughly & juicy.
  • In a separate pot, boil water. Once water is boiled, throw in angel hair & allow pasta to cook
  • Once the pasta is ready, drain water & heat up pasta sauce. I just pour basil pasta sauce to a glass measuring cup & microwave until hot.
  • Once everything's good to go, add to plate & enjoy!
