I don't know the details but my wife makes it just the same as she did beef spaghetti. I'm sure the MFP data base has some good estimates though.

I actually have been making my own "spaghetti" sauce for about the last two years and use turkey for my meat. One word of warning. Make sure that you get the real lean (98%) not the 85%, or you will have a lot more calories. You can also add mushrooms, which have very little calories, and use whole wheat pasta, which will give you higher fiber.
