INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1 medium Zucchini
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces.
Dice the zucchini and red bell pepper. Add them to the skillet along with the spinach and sauté until the vegetables are tender and the spinach wilts.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the cooked pasta into the skillet with the turkey and veggie sauce, ensuring everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
