Most people (well I think all) like spaghetti and meatballs. It is that classic dinner that your mom makes, but that grandma makes better. :) The warmth and love of meatballs with spaghetti and the love that goes into making it always makes us feel so wonderful and loved inside. I don't think anyone should deprive themselves of eating this classic dinner. I think the whole family- brother, sister, dad, mom, grandma, grandpa should all enjoy this dinner, but only the healthy way. Did you know that meatballs can nearly 500 calories in just a serving? Crazy right? And then if you add in the spaghetti and the sauce you may be topping at over 800 calories total- too much if you ask me. And then if you have a little extra your coming in at about 1200 calories and that is just dinner! I am assuming you ate breakfast, lunch and maybe a snack that day, right?
Here is a better version of this classic dinner- it is tasty and saves the calories.
Lean Mean Turkey Meatballs
1/2 onion chopped
1/4 tsp. of salt (or more if you like)
1 tsp. of coconut oil
1 organic eggs
3/4 cup of oatmeal
1 pound of ground lean turkey
1 8oz. can Red Pack tomato sauce (red pack is the best and purest)
Pasta - whatever kind you like although I like to use Ronzoni Veggie Delight Pasta
1. beat the egg
2. mush the turkey and then add it to the egg
3. add in the salt, oatmeal, onion and salt and mix
4. in a large skillet add the coconut oil and heat
5. with a spoon or your hand form 2 inch balls and place them on the skillet and cook about 2 minutes until it is coated well - keep repeating until the entire mixture is gone
6. in a crock pot place all the turkey meatballs into the pot and pour the sauce over stir. cook for about 7 hours, turning it to high and then back down throughout the day. If you're going be to out for then 2 hours don't keep on to prevent from burning.
7. before you're ready to serve- boil a pot of water and when it comes to a boil pour Ronzoni Veggie spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes stirring occasionally.
8. once the pasta is done drain in a colander.
9. add some tomato sauce and then add the turkey meatballs.
Serve and enjoy!
By the way you just saved a ton of calories but added a lot of taste!!! :)
