Turkey parmesan meatballs!

Who doesn't love spaghetti? And spaghetti and meatballs, even better! This is my tried and true turkey meatball recipe. Super easy and super yummy. This is also a great dish to take to a friend who just had a baby or is recovering from surgery, because it is easy to reheat and good for leftovers.

Ingredients:
1lb ground turkey
1/3c bread crumbs
1/4c shredded parmesan
1tsp salt
1/4tsp pepper
1/2tsp garlic
1/2tsp Italian seasoning
A few tbsp olive oil
Marinara (I prefer a simple marinara, such as the Trader Joes brand)
Spaghetti noodles
*A few pinches of red pepper flakes can be added to the marinara for a little kick.

Combine the first seven ingredients in a large mixing bowl (you can use your hands). Form 1.5 inch meatballs. Add olive oil to a large saute pan. Brown meatballs on a medium heat for about 8 mins on each side. Add marinara to pan and continue cooking on a low heat, with lid on, for about another 8mins. Cook noodles separately and add to sauce.

Voila! Quick, easy and tasty din din. Now just add a small salad and a glass of vino and your belly will thank you ;)
