Ground turkey and pasta dish. We love this recipe-is my husband's favorite! Got this recipe from Family Circle magazine a few years ago.
Ingredients:
10 ounces frozen spinach
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup parmesan cheese
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon garlic salt
black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves
16 ounces spaghetti
3/4 cup white wine
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, to top
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Squeeze water out of spinach.
3. Mix spinach, turkey, egg, bread crumbs, 3/4 cup parmesan, mozzarella, garlic salt and pepper. Form into about 30 meatballs.
4. Heat oil in large frying pan over med-high heat. brown meatballs for 2-3 minutes. Once browned, bake meatballs on baking sheet for about 20 minutes.
5. While meatballs are baking, bring a lightly salted pot of water to a boil and cook spaghetti. Once finished, reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
6. Deglaze meatball pan with white wine. Add butter and garlic & let thicken slightly. Pour over drained spaghetti and toss to coat; add some of reserved pasta water to moisten if needed. Add meatballs. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup parmesan.
