INGREDIENTS
100g Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (approx. 140g)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (60g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 small Onion
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper as desired.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti, turkey marinara mixture, fresh spinach, and ricotta cheese. Mix gently until the spinach wilts slightly and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, let it stand for a few minutes, then serve warm.
