    Ingredients
    1/2 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
    1 pound ground lean turkey
    1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
    1/4 cup chopped parsley
    1/4 cup fresh whole-wheat bread crumbs
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 cup minced onion
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 (26-ounce) can low-sodium crushed tomatoes
    1 cup canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    Garnish: additional parsley, 1/4 cup Parmesan

    Preparation

    Cook spaghetti according to package directions; keep warm. Combine turkey, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, bread crumbs, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Form into 15 meatballs; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until soft (5 minutes). Add garlic; cook 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, pinto beans, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Add meatballs; return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over low until meatballs are cooked through and sauce has thickened (15 minutes). Divide spaghetti, meatballs, and sauce among 5 bowls. Garnish with additional parsley and 1/4 cup Parmesan.
