INGREDIENTS
4 oz Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup sliced Zucchini
1 cup raw Spinach
1/4 medium Onion
1/2 cup low sodium Tomato Sauce
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Cook until it starts to brown, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in chopped red bell pepper, sliced zucchini, and spinach. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Pour in the tomato sauce and mix well, allowing the flavors to meld. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and vegetable sauce mixture. Mix until the pasta is evenly coated.
Transfer the combined mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the baked ziti to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your protein-packed, veggie loaded baked ziti!
