Spaghetti & Turkey Hearts
My heart shaped cookie cutter has been working overtime! My kids are loving up all of my heart shaped creations! I thought of this at 2am last night and got to work today. If it works for fruit ,why not ground turkey? Using a heart shaped cookie cutter and cutting board, I flattened the meatball mixture out onto the cutting board. I sprayed Pam on the cutting board first. I lined a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and sprayed it with Pam before placing the turkey hearts on. I baked them on 350 degrees for about 25 minutes flipping once. The time may vary according to the size of your hearts. Chloe was home sick from Kindergarten today so she got to sample the turkey hearts for lunch. She loved them!
Sauce
I made a quick sauce using a 16 0z can of Tuttarosa crushed tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic (we love garlic!)
1/2 a small onion
salt
pepper
parsley
oregano
Saute onion & garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until blonde
add the crushed tomatoes and the seasonings
let cook for 30-60 minutes
Turkey Hearts
I used a pound and a half of 99% fat free ground turkey
2-3 cloves of garlic minced
1 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp of salt
1tsp of pepper
2 eggs
a pinch of oregano
2 pinches of parsley
So cute, I tried pinning but it wouldn't work, not sure why?

DeleteHappy Sharefest! Those are simply too cute! Perfect idea for Valentine's Day! :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! The kiddies loved them...my husband & I did as well!!
DeleteAdorable (as usual). Although, I'd have to eat it without the little one, she only likes her pasta "clean". No butter. No sauce. Nothing. Drives me nuts. She's like the worst Italian kid ever.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! We go through that here too...sometimes Max likes sauce- sometimes butter...sometimes plain. He's sooo picky it's a pain in the ass!!! Chloe has gotten better and will try new foods for a quarter!!!
DeleteThis is precious!! I am so going to make this for my 2 year old. We have been working on shapes! He would love this!! Pinning it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for pinning!! If your working on shapes- go all out and try a few variations! I'm doing stars next for sure! Thank you so much for stopping over! Come again!
DeleteOMG - this looks so amazing. Perhaps tonight's dinner...
