Turkey Meatballs with Marinara

Lean turkey meatballs simmered in a rich tomato sauce. High protein, lighter than beef, and just as satisfying over pasta or zucchini noodles.

Ingredients

• •400g lean ground turkey
• •1 egg

• •1 can (400g) crushed tomatoes

3. 3. Pour crushed tomatoes over the meatballs. Season with salt and stir gently.
4. 4. Cover and simmer on low heat for 12–15 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
