INGREDIENTS
4 oz Ground Turkey (93% lean)
0.5 cup whole wheat ziti (dry)
0.5 cup tomato sauce
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup diced red bell pepper
0.5 cup diced zucchini
0.25 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is just browned.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and zucchini, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Mix in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2 minutes.
Combine the cooked ziti, sautéed veggies, and turkey mixture along with the baby spinach in a baking dish. Mix well.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your protein-packed baked ziti!
