INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 medium Bell Pepper
1 cup Spinach
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the chopped bell pepper and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts slightly, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the tomato sauce and allow the mixture to heat through for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and vegetable sauce in a baking dish. Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
