Turkey Meatballs with Puttanesca
Spaghetti and meatballs, with a healthy plot twist. Chef Akhtar brings in lean turkey, folds in spinach and feta, and rolls it all into tender meatballs that simmer away in a punchy Puttanesca sauce, naturally salty from capers and olives. Instead of pasta, roasted spaghetti squash steps in with its golden strands, soaking everything up while keeping it light.
