INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (93% lean)
0.33 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce
0.5 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.25 cup diced Onion
0.25 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a medium pot, cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried oregano, cooking until fully browned and crumbled.
Stir in the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly before mixing in the marinara sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Combine the cooked ziti with the turkey and veggie sauce, stirring to ensure even distribution.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
