INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
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 instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula.
Stir in the tomato sauce into the turkey and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Mix in chopped fresh basil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked ziti, turkey-tomato mixture, part-skim ricotta cheese, and fresh spinach. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Optionally, add a sprinkle of extra basil on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
