Turkey Meatballs With Sauteed Kale And Pesto Pasta

What you need

yellow onion
cup kale

garlic

tbsp canola oil

tbsp pesto sauce

cup parmesan cheese

marinara sauce

salt

black peppercorn

tsp cumin powder

tsp cayenne

tsp dried thyme

tsp onion powder
Instructions
Prepare pasta according to the package. Save 1/2 cup of the pasta water! Prepare the meatballs by adding turkey, onion, 1/2 of the garlic and all the spices in a bowl. Mix well and form balls with your hands. I made 9. Add the oil to a skillet over medium heat. After 2 mins, add the turkey meatballs. Let them cook for about 5 mins before rolling them over. Repeat this step until they're cooked through (about 15 mins) then remove them from the pan and set aside. Add a little bit more oil, the kale and remaining garlic to the pan. Saute for about 5 mins, until the kale is soft. To assemble: toss the pasta with the pesto and reserved pasta water then divide into your containers. Add the kale, turkey meatballs and garnishes if using.View original recipe
