    We had this for our main meal last night. I rather heavily adapted it from a few others as I like meat & my wife and son like pasta & as we are trying to eat healthier I am trying to find new ways to use turkey meat instead of beef.

    Moroccan Style Turkey Spaghetti & Meatballs, We had this for our main meal last night I rather heavily adapted it from a few others as I like meat & my wife and son like pasta & as we are trying to eat healthier I am trying to find new ways to use turkey meat instead of beef , This is a great recipe It’s easy and delicious My family loved it To add more of a Moroccan flavor to it, I baked it in a tagine for 40 minutes at 350F To keep it from getting dry while baking, I also added a small can of tomato sauce
