A couple of weeks ago I came home from work super duper late. It was one of those evenings where I did NOT want to make anything….at all. I came pretty close to ordering pizza when I realized I had some mushroom sauce left over from a few days prior.
I opted out of the pizza idea and quickly boiled some water, tossed in whole grain bowtie noodles and 15 minutes later I was enjoying a much lower calorie & much healthier meal.
Good for me huh? ;)
…because it’s not every day I would choose pasta over pizza….
The turkey balls used in this recipe are not the same as the turkey balls I’ve previously posted. These actually have NOTHING in them, at all. Only turkey rolled into a tiny ball and fried up with some olive oil.
It’s super easy & super healthy.
- 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Bowtie Noodles
- 1 cup Mushroom Sauce
- 1 cup Extra Lean Ground Turkey (approx)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Spray frying pan with olive oil and warm on medium heat.
- Pick up ground turkey with clean hands and roll into small balls. Place balls in frying pan and cook until browned. (about 15 minutes)
- While the balls are cooking, using a medium saucepan, cook noodles as per package directions.
- Meanwhile, using a small saucepan heat up mushroom sauce.
- When noodles & turkey balls are ready, toss in sauce and serve immediately.
This recipe only calls for one serving, so remember to double up if you’re looking for a recipe for the fam jam.
Trust me though, your family will truly enjoy the delicious taste in this dish!
Simple, healthy, & yummy.
