Clean eating spaghetti and turkey meatballs

by overlandpark, August 5, 2009 | Permalink

Meatballs:
Ground Turkey (about 2lbs)
Oat bran (about 1-1.5 cups)
1 Egg
Dried basil
Dried oregano
Dried italian seasoning
1 tbs tomato paste
1 tsp each salt and pepper

• Add ingredients to “taste” - you’ll want the mixture to be very moist to the touch.  Form into balls and bake at 350 until done in the center.

Sauce:
1 jar pasta sauce (check label for low sugar content)
1 carrot finely diced
1 onion finely diced
1 clove garlic finely diced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp cinnamon

Sautee carrot, onion and garlic in olive oil until soft.  Add pasta sauce, bay leaf and cinnamon.  Cook for about 20-30 minutes.  Add meatballs to sauce once it’s done.

Serve with whole wheat pasta.
