INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and diced onion until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for a few minutes. Add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked ziti, turkey mixture, and low-fat ricotta cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Serve warm and enjoy this protein-packed twist on classic baked ziti.
