INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti (from 1/2 cup dry)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup diced Zucchini
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 small diced Yellow Onion
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375 °F.
In a non-stick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat and add the diced yellow onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then cook over medium heat until the turkey is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula.
Mix in the diced zucchini and red bell pepper with the cooked turkey, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti, turkey and veggie mixture, and marinara sauce. Stir until evenly mixed.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the baked ziti cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this protein-packed, nutritious meal!
