INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 medium Zucchini
1 cup Cooked Spinach
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Stir in Italian seasoning.
Dice the zucchini and add it to the skillet along with the tomato sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Stir in the cooked spinach and add the cooked ziti. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle the reduced-fat mozzarella evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
