Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Heat 2-counts olive oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Add the
Onion (1/2)
and
Garlic (2 cloves)
and cook until translucent and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the
Tomato Paste (1/2 Tbsp)
and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 4
Add
Ground Turkey (1 lb)
, onion mixture,
Egg (1)
,
Breadcrumbs (1/2 cup)
,
Grated Parmesan Cheese (1/4 cup)
,
Fresh Parsley (1 Tbsp)
,
Fresh Basil (1 Tbsp)
,
Salt (1/2 tsp)
, and
Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp)
to a bowl. Mix until just ingredients are combined, do not overmix.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with foil (or not) and drizzle with 2-counts of olive oil. Scoop or roll 2-inch meatballs and lay snug on the sheet. Drizzle with one more count of oil on top of the meatballs and bake for 20 minutes until cooked through.
Step 6
While the meatballs are cooking, cook
Spaghetti (8 oz)
according to package directions in salted water.
Step 7
Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and discard the remaining water. Add the hot pasta to a large bowl. Add
