INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (93% Lean)
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
0.25 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
0.5 cup diced Zucchini
0.5 cup Baby Spinach
0.25 cup chopped Bell Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Stir in the diced zucchini, chopped bell pepper, and baby spinach with the turkey; sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables slightly soften.
Add the tomato sauce to the turkey and vegetable mixture, stirring gently to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey, vegetable, and tomato sauce mixture. Mix thoroughly so the pasta is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your protein-packed baked ziti as a satisfying meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
