INGREDIENTS
4 oz Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes, allowing them to soften slightly.
In a separate pot, prepare the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and vegetable mixture. Toss in the fresh spinach so it wilts slightly from the heat.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish. Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving, enjoying a satisfying balance of lean protein, wholesome carbs, and vibrant veggies.
