INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper
0.5 medium Zucchini
1 cup Spinach
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
0.25 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until aromatic.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until lightly browned, breaking it up into small pieces.
Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini, then add them to the skillet along with the spinach. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the tomato sauce and stir in dried basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix the cooked ziti into the turkey and vegetable sauce, stirring to combine evenly.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
