INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup Zucchini, diced
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Onion, diced
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Combine the cooked ziti with the turkey and veggie mixture in an oven-safe dish.
Top evenly with part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
