INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
2 ounces Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the diced onion. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the cooked lentils and tomato sauce, allowing the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors meld together. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey-lentil sauce and mix well. Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish.
Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes to heat through and let the flavors fully integrate.
Serve hot and enjoy your protein-packed baked ziti.
