INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
0.5 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti
0.5 cup No-Sugar-Added Tomato Sauce
0.5 cup sliced Zucchini
0.25 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.25 cup shredded Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
0.25 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and basil.
Stir in the tomato sauce and mix well. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
Fold in the sliced zucchini, diced red bell pepper, and fresh spinach. Let the vegetables soften slightly in the heat.
Combine the turkey and veggie mixture with the cooked whole wheat ziti in a mixing bowl. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
