INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Grain Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 medium Zucchini, sliced
1/4 cup Nonfat Mozzarella Cheese
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole grain ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until the turkey is fully browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the marinara sauce once the turkey is near cooked through, and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Fold in the baby spinach and sliced zucchini, cooking just until the spinach wilts and the zucchini softens slightly.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and veggie sauce in the skillet and mix well.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Top evenly with nonfat mozzarella cheese and sprinkle fresh basil on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the dish is heated through.
Remove from oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
