Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat leaf Italian parsley
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 1 TBSP Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 jar store bought marinara sauce or your favorite homemade sauce
  • 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix all of the ingredients together well. You really want to get in there and work the meat. It allows the flavors to meld and the meat to stick together. Roll the meat into golf ball sized meatballs and place in your slow cooker. Cover with marinara sauce and cook on LOW for 4 hours.
  • Serve over cooked spaghetti and top with additional parmesan cheese.
