INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta, cooked
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
In a medium skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach, and allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
In a separate bowl, mix the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey mixture. Gently fold in the part-skim ricotta cheese.
Transfer the combined mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
