Spaghetti with Meatballs

I made some wonderful turkey meatballs recently from the blog wellplated.com!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup grated parmesan, I used the cheap stuff in a shakable can.

1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs, I used Panko mixed with Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder, I don't actually own onion powder so I skipped this ingredient

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 pound ground turkey

1 egg, beaten

Olive oil for brushing the tops of the meatballs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

Line a sheet pan with foil. Spray with nonstick spray

Mix all the cheese, breadcrumbs, and seasonings together in a bowl.

Add the turkey and egg to the bowl and mix gently with your fingers.

Form 20 meatballs and place on sheet pan.

Bake for 15 minutes/ until meatball temp reaches 165.

While the meatballs cook prepare sauce and pasta.

Ingredients for tomato sauce:

1 jar triple mushroom pasta sauce

Olive oil

Garlic cloves, minced

Onion, diced

Green pepper, diced

Italian seasoning

Sugar

Salt & Pepper

Directions for tomato sauce:

In a saucepan, heat with jar of mushroom pasta sauce. Add Italian seasoning and sugar.

In a sautee pan, heat olive oil.

When olive oil is heated, add onions and green pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook through for several minutes.

Add minced garlic to the onions and pepper and heat until fragrant. About 1 minute.

Add all the sautee pan ingredients to the saucepan and continue to heat the pasta sauce to combine ingredients.

Dump the meatballs in the tomato sauce to coat and serve over pasta!

Low Iodine Diet

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet. More info can be found here Thyroid Cancer Survivor Association I don't have thyroid cancer. I do have to have the same treatment as a thyroid cancer patient would have. Don't worry! I'll be fine in a few months. Some of the guidelines include -No seafood. no problem since I don't eat any -No soy products. no soy sauce, no tofu, no soy beans. sadness :( -No processed foods. The frozen meals I like to eat at lunch at work are now OUT. AHHHHHHHHHH and so are things like canned soup. Good bye tomato soup in a can -No dairy. Whatever is used to clean the cow milking equipment has iodine. how will I like without milk, cheese, and yogurt. it really puts a damper on my breakfast options. -Only fresh bread. I just threw a loaf of sliced wheat bread in the freezer for when the diet...
