Low Fat Turkey Meatballs And Spaghetti

 

 If you enjoy spaghetti and meatballs, try this low fat version, which uses 

 99% fat-free ground turkey instead of beef.

 Ingredients:

 1 pound 99% fat free ground turkey

 1 slice wholewheat bread, made into crumbs

 1/4 cup fat freemilk

 1 egg white

 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

 1/2 tsp dried oregano

 ground black pepper

 2 tsp olive oil

 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

 8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti

 Preparation:

 Place ground turkey in a bowl with bread crumbs, milk, egg white, cheese, 

 oregano and pepper. Combine thoroughly. Without handling the meat too 

 roughly, shape the mixture into 12 evenly sized meatballs.

 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add meatballs and cook over a medium 

 heat until meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Add tomatoes; cover 

 and simmer for 15 minutes.

 

 Cook spaghetti according to instructions on package. While the spaghetti 

 is cooking, uncover the skillet with the meatballs and tomatoes, and 

 continue to simmer until the pot of spaghetti is ready.

 

 Serves 4.
