KID'S MEALS LOW SODIUM, TURKEY MEATBALL SPAGHETTI

In this post, we'll do some delicious turkey meatballs with spaghetti noodles. Make it low in sodium so that we minimize our high blood pressure. And that goes just as well for our kids. The importance of keeping our blood pressure in check is no doubt vital. My nephew is not even 20 yet, and he has hypertension. Controlling our emotions also keeps our pressure low and in check. Instead of road rage, take a deep breath. Afterall we can't really control other people's driving. Like my dad always said, "You can't win in this life." Well, we can have our victories, but really we can't control certain events is what he really meant. Plus we are all going to be gone from this planet sooner or later.

OK off to the kid's spaghetti.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. of spaghetti cooked per instructions on the package, drained and set aside.

1 1/2 lbs. of ground turkey. (Organic if you can buy it)

1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs, I use panko flakes, or unflavored and unsalted bread crumbs

1 egg beaten

2 tbsp. of real mayonnaise

1/2 cup minced onion

1 tsp. white pepper

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tbsp. ketchup

1 tbsp. ground mustard

* Store bought low sodium spaghetti sauce, Prego, Ragu etc. Use as much as you want to sauce up your noodles.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Preheat your oven to 375 deg. F.

Line a large cookie sheet with baking paper, spray some nonstick spray on it.

Mix the ground turkey with ingredients. Form your turkey meatballs, any size you want. Place all meatballs on to the cookie sheet and bake them for about 25-30 minutes or until heated through real well.

In a deep skillet, add your baked turkey meatballs and as much as the spaghetti sauce as you want. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer, add in the cooked spaghetti noodles, cook through well. Let the noodles sop up the sauce. 

Sprinkle some parmesan cheese, serve with garlic all grain bread.
