INGREDIENTS
4 oz lean ground turkey
1/2 cup whole wheat pasta (dry)
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 medium red bell pepper
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces.
Add the chopped zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the marinara sauce and chopped fresh basil, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2 minutes.
Combine the turkey-vegetable mixture with the cooked pasta in an oven-safe dish, mixing thoroughly.
Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella evenly over the top of the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
