Spaghetti and Meatballs - Cook This
by MstangMike
Spaghetti with whole wheat noodles and meatballs that are a blend of ground turkey and ground beef.
Traditional meatballs are made with a mixture of beef, pork, and veal. Turkey, lean and tender, replaces the latter two in these meatballs, saving you major calories. And if anything, go heavy on the meatballs and light on the pasta.
This is a recipe from Cook This, Not That! cookbook.
