Turkey in Marinara is a savory dish inspired by Italian cuisine, combining lean ground turkey with a rich, flavorful marinara sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, onion, and herbs like basil and oregano. This protein-packed meal is a healthier alternative to traditional meatballs, offering less saturated fat while maintaining hearty taste and texture. Turkey contributes essential nutrients like high-quality protein, iron, and B vitamins, making it a great option for muscle development and energy support. The marinara sauce enhances the dish with antioxidants like lycopene from the tomatoes, which may promote heart health and fight inflammation. Served on its own or over whole-grain pasta or zucchini noodles, Turkey in Marinara is a balanced meal choice. However, watch for added sugar or excess sodium in store-bought sauces, and opt for homemade marinara whenever possible for optimal nutrition benefits.
