INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
2 ounces Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (dry)
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 cup sliced Mushrooms
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1 clove Garlic (minced)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet, sauté the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant. Add the lean ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and nearly cooked through.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to the turkey. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Stir in the low-sodium tomato sauce and baby spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt, then combine with the turkey and vegetables.
Mix the cooked pasta into the turkey and veggie mixture until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from oven, serve warm, and enjoy your protein-packed meal.
