INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Season with basil, salt, and pepper as desired.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey and tomato sauce mixture. Gently fold in the part-skim ricotta cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
