Mozzarella Stuffed Turkey Meatballs

I cooked this last night and it turned out great! It's very easy as long as you don't mind to get a little dirty.

1lb Ground Turkey
1 jar of Heart Healthy Pasta Sauce
1 can of Italian Tomatoes
1 string cheese (Mozzarella Skim Milk)
1 package of Meatball seasoning
3 tbsp egg whites
1/2 a box of wheat spaghetti
1 tbsp of EVOO
1tsp

Cut string cheese into 12 pieces. Put Turkey meat, meatball seasoning, egg whites and 1 tsp of evoo in a large mixing bowl and mix together. Section out mixture and roll into a ball. Place a piece of cheese in the center and mold the meat around it. Once complete place in a skillet with 1 tbsp of evoo on low to medium heat. Turn meatballs over as they cook. Bring pasta to a boil and cook as directed on label.  Once meatballs are browned on all sides pour in your jar of sauce and drained Italian tomatoes. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Now... it's time to eat!!

This is a very tasty dinner and with half the calories of your regular meatballs and pasta. Hope you enjoy!
