INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (93% Lean)
0.5 cup Cooked Lentils
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
4 fresh Basil leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 Garlic cloves
1 small Onion
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Stir in the cooked lentils and tomato sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
In a separate pot, prepare the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and add to the turkey and lentil mixture, stirring well to combine everything evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
