INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 oz Whole Wheat Ziti (Dry)
1/2 medium Zucchini (≈100g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (≈100g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, cook the lean ground turkey over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if needed.
While the turkey is cooking, dice the zucchini and red bell pepper. Add them to the skillet with the turkey and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt. Season with salt, pepper, and any Italian herbs you enjoy.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and vegetable mixture in a baking dish. Dollop the reduced-fat ricotta evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed meal.
