INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until it is no longer pink. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a separate pot, cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and combine with fresh spinach while still warm, allowing the spinach to soften slightly.
Mix the turkey tomato sauce with the pasta and spinach, then gently fold in the low-fat ricotta cheese to create a creamy texture.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until heated through.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful baked ziti.
