INGREDIENTS
150g Lean Ground Turkey
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (No Salt Added)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup diced Zucchini
1/2 cup chopped Mushrooms
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it begins to brown. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the turkey and sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the diced tomatoes, chopped mushrooms, and diced zucchini. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Fold in the fresh spinach and continue cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
Mix the turkey and vegetable mixture with the cooked pasta in a large bowl. Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and top evenly with shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
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.
