INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 medium Onion
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until the turkey is evenly browned.
Mix in the chopped onion and continue to sauté until soft.
Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes.
Fold in the fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes, and cook until the spinach is wilted.
In a separate bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey and veggie mixture.
Transfer the ziti mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella evenly on top.
Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
