INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Stir in the marinara sauce and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly.
Mix the cooked pasta into the turkey and vegetable mixture, then dollop and gently incorporate the ricotta cheese for creaminess.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly bubbly.
Let the pasta bake rest for a few minutes before serving.
