SPAGHETTI AND TURKEY MEATBALLS
Lean ground turkey has just enough fat to give the meatballs some flavor, but little enough to keep them healthful. (Ground turkey breast results in dry meatballs, and regular ground turkey is higher in calories than lean ground beef.) Use a small ice-cream scoop to form the meatballs. Leftovers should be stored in sauce--and served as meatballs heroes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain.
- Meanwhile, combine the turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, oregano, thyme and salt in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs; a small ice-cream scoop makes short work of forming the meatballs and prevents the mixture from getting overworked.
- Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and brown lightly on all sides, about 6 minutes. Pour in the sauce and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- To serve, place spaghetti on each plate and ladle sauce and meatballs over the top. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs if desired.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes with their juice, 2 cups water, 1/4cup basil, the parmesan rind, if using, and salt and pepper to taste.

Form into 4 large or 12 small meatballs; add to the sauce and simmer, turning, until cooked through, 6 minutes for small meatballs and 12 minutes for large.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water as the label directs. Drain and return to the pot. Toss with some of the sauce, then divide among bowls. Top the spaghetti with the meatballs, the remaining sauce and more parsley and parmesan.

SPAGHETTI WITH TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE
This recipe came from GOOP.com, Gwyneth Paltrow's new lifestyle website. She is showing her Martha Stewart side as her recipes are quite good and easy to put together. This one is especially good with the addition of fennel seeds to the homemade tomato sauce, which doesn't overpower but definitely bumps it up to a new level. We used whole wheat pasta and it was delicious.

Steps:
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about eight minutes sweating it without giving it too much color. When it's soft, add the garlic and fennel seeds and season generously with salt and pepper (about a teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of pepper should do). Saute for an additional three or four minutes. Remove and reserve half of this onion mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes and their juice to the remaining mixture in the pot, turn the heat to low and simmer while you make the meatballs. be sure to put a little water in the tomato sauce can and swish it around and add it to the pot (don't want to waste a bit!).
- To make the meatballs, combine the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, parsley, thyme and rosemary with the reserved onion mixture. Add the turkey and egg and mush it all with your hands (the best tool for this job) just until everything is well-combined; don't over mix. Form the mixture into 1-1/2 inch balls with your hands (of course you can make them whatever size you like). Heat the last two tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Making sure not to overcrowd the pan, brown the meatballs (should take about five minutes). Put the browned meatballs into the simmering tomato sauce and let them cook, shaking the pot occasionally to roll the meatballs around, for at least 20 minutes and up to an hour and a half. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve with spaghetti and the torn basil.
