I'm aggreeing with Suzie and leliza. However, if you take the ingredients over to SparkPeople.com to their recipe section, there's a free recipe calculator you can use. It's been a great help to me. The recipe sounds really good and I'm going to enter it into the calculator to see what I come up with. Just reading over it I see several ways to make it healthier:<\/p>
1. No salt added diced tomatoes<\/p>
2. Low fat, low sodium beef broth<\/p>
3. Frozen cut green beans(for time)<\/p>
4. Multi gtain or whole wheat macaroni<\/p>
5. Low fat Parmesan<\/p>
You may even could even make ground turkey meatballs in advance and freeze them.<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"","GUID":"d543e2e84490453a881d666d627cf2ce","MemberId":1665565,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"renee42861","SubmittedDate":"02\/23\/2009 16:24"},{"Comment":"

Please, please furnish nutrition info for your recipes! For those of us with cholesterol and diabetes issues [I'm borderline on both and trying NOT to have to take medication - just watch fat and sugat content], it would help greatly.<\/p>","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"","GUID":"a4e39f9eaea04cbe9c213777683ecdee","MemberId":3206465,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"leliza1","SubmittedDate":"02\/23\/2009 14:59"},{"Comment":"
