List of Ingredients
12 oz uncooked ground turkey breast
2 tsp garlic herb seasoning, or Italian seasoning (preferably salt-free)
1 sprays cooking spray
14 oz canned diced tomatoes, with green pepper, celery and onion
6 oz canned tomato paste
1/2 cup fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp dried oregano
12 oz uncooked whole-wheat spaghetti
1/4 cup basil, fresh, chopped
Recipe
Combine turkey breast and Italian or garlic herb seasoning in a bowl; mix well to combine. Shape mixture into 16 meatballs (about 2 tablespoons each).
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add meatballs and sauté until browned on all sides, turning frequently, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth and oregano; mix well. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until meatballs are cooked through and sauce reduces slightly, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions without oil. Drain, cover to keep warm and set aside.
Remove meatball mixture from heat and stir in basil. Spoon meatballs and sauce over spaghetti to serve. Yields about 1 1/3 cups of spaghetti, 4 meatballs and 1/2 cup of sauce per serving.

Sautéing meatballs in cooking spray and a nonstick pan, instead of in butter or oil.
Creating a homemade sauce using seasoned canned tomatoes to minimize sodium content.
