About Spaghetti with turkey meat sauce

Spaghetti with Turkey Meat Sauce is a wholesome twist on the classic Italian pasta dish. It features tender spaghetti noodles paired with a flavorful, slow-simmered tomato-based sauce made from lean ground turkey, garlic, onions, and a medley of Italian herbs like oregano and basil. By substituting turkey for traditional ground beef, this dish is lower in saturated fat while still providing a good source of protein, essential for muscle repair and maintaining energy levels. The tomato sauce is rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that supports heart health. Typically served with a side of vegetables or a crisp salad, it can be part of a balanced meal, though portion control is key to managing calorie intake from the pasta. This dish marries comfort and nutrition, making it a satisfying option for those seeking healthier versions of beloved classics.
