About Turkey meatballs with marinara sauce

Turkey Meatballs With Marinara Sauce is a flavorful dish inspired by Italian cuisine, offering a lighter twist on classic meatballs. Made with ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley, these meatballs are baked or pan-seared to perfection. They're served in a savory marinara sauce crafted from ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and basil. Packed with lean protein from the turkey, the dish supports muscle health and satiety while being lower in saturated fat compared to traditional beef or pork meatballs. The marinara sauce provides antioxidants like lycopene, promoting heart health. This dish can be paired with whole-grain pasta or a side of steamed vegetables for added fiber and nutrients. While generally healthy, watch out for added sodium in store-bought marinara sauces or breadcrumbs. For a wholesome option, opt for homemade ingredients and moderate portions.
