INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey

1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.25 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey mixture. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese to maintain creamy pockets throughout.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed baked ziti.
