INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
50 g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 medium Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned. Break it into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Mix in the cooked pasta and Italian seasoning, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges are slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
