INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
2 ounces Whole Wheat Ziti
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/2 cup Zucchini, chopped
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Light Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti in a pot of boiling water for about 7-9 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat, sauté the lean ground turkey until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Add the diced red bell pepper and chopped zucchini to the turkey and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt before pouring in the tomato sauce, dried Italian herbs, and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Mix in the cooked ziti, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the turkey and vegetable mixture.
Sprinkle the light mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and begins to bubble.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
