Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix the ground turkey, bread crumbs, ketchup, egg whites, pepper and oregano in a large bowl.

Form the meat mixture into 18-24 eyeball-sized balls. Press an olive into each eyeball, pimento side out. Place the eyeballs in a baking dish, cover with the spaghetti sauce, cover with tinfoil and bake for 45 minutes.

About 20 minutes before the eyeballs are done, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. When eyeballs are done, remove from oven and spoon onto spaghetti, irises up. Spoon sauce around them.
