INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey (~142g)
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (~140g, cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (~125g)
1/2 cup Zucchini (~90g, diced)
1/2 cup Spinach (~15g)
1/4 cup Onion (~40g, chopped)
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil (~7g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, for about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced zucchini and spinach to the turkey mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Mix in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 3 minutes to combine the flavors.
In a separate pot, prepare the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and vegetable sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
