Spaghetti with turkey meatballs is a lighter take on the classic Italian-American comfort dish. It combines tender turkey meatballs with spaghetti, typically served in a marinara sauce infused with herbs like garlic, basil, and oregano. Turkey is a lean protein, making it a healthier alternative to traditional beef or pork meatballs, offering less saturated fat while still providing essential nutrients like B vitamins and zinc. Whole-grain spaghetti can further boost its nutritional profile by adding fiber for digestion and sustained energy. The tomato-based marinara sauce is rich in antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health and immune function. However, this dish’s healthfulness can vary depending on portion sizes and added oils or sodium in the sauce. Enjoyed with moderation and balanced ingredients, this meal is both satisfying and nourishing.
