Modified my favorite meatball recipe to include ground turkey instead of pork. Results were fantastic! Just as much flavor, but way leaner. I did need to bake them longer to hit that 160 deg kill-all-bacteria temp, but totally worth it. Found the healthiest/cheapest (that happy medium between healthier and bank account draining) pasta sauce and added a whole green pepper, a red pepper, medium sized onion, whole package of mushrooms, and some baby cut carrots finely diced. Reduced them first in some red wine and water with a couple dashes or garlic.
Awesomely enough, HyVee's whole wheat pasta is cheaper and healthier by 30kCal and +1g dietary fiber +2g protein per serving than the name brand stuff that was twice the cost.
Awesome meal.
