INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup No-Sugar-Added Tomato Sauce
1 cup Cooked Spinach
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes; add in chopped basil.
Mix the cooked whole wheat ziti and cooked spinach into the skillet, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, smooth the top, and optionally sprinkle extra basil or a light dusting of additional ricotta if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
