INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks, and sauté until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Mix in the fresh spinach until it wilts slightly, then remove the skillet from the heat.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey and spinach mixture. Dollop the ricotta cheese on top and gently swirl it in to create creamy pockets.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm.
