INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup sliced Zucchini
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup sliced Mushrooms
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the lean ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the sliced zucchini, diced red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables until they soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti pasta with the turkey and vegetable mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and dollop the part-skim ricotta cheese evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish and cover with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
