INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 cup Zucchini, diced
1/2 cup Spinach
1/4 cup Onion, diced
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in chopped red bell pepper and diced zucchini. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Mix in the tomato sauce and dried Italian herbs, allowing the flavors to meld for about 2 minutes.
Combine the cooked whole wheat ziti pasta and fresh spinach into the mixture, stirring until the spinach wilts.
Transfer the entire mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let stand for a few minutes before serving to allow the dish to set.
