INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 oz Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Zucchini, diced
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet with turkey and sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and veggie mixture in a baking dish. Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the dish is heated through and the cheeses are slightly melted.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
