Ingredients

• 8 oz Ground turkey (95% lean)
• 8 oz Whole wheat spaghetti
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 14 oz Canned crushed tomatoes (no salt added)
• 1 tbsp Tomato paste
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the onion and garlic to the side of the skillet and add the ground turkey. Cook the turkey, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken the sauce.

Step 7

Plate the cooked spaghetti and top with the meat sauce.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
