INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/3 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the lean ground turkey, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, turkey mixture, and low-fat ricotta cheese. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer the combined mixture into a lightly greased baking dish, and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
