INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (113g)
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Ziti, cooked (70g)
0.33 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (83g)
0.5 cup Marinara Tomato Sauce (125g)
0.25 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1 tsp Garlic Powder (3g)
1 tsp Dried Basil (1g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground turkey and season with garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the marinara tomato sauce, heating through for 2-3 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ziti, turkey and sauce mixture, and low-fat ricotta cheese. Stir gently to mix all ingredients well.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let stand for a few minutes, and serve warm.
