INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 medium Zucchini
1/2 medium Bell Pepper
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and fully cooked. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Dice the zucchini and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Stir them into the skillet with the turkey and let them soften for about 3-4 minutes.
Fold in the spinach and allow it to wilt slightly.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and veggie mixture in an oven-safe baking dish. Dollop the creamy ricotta evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until heated through and the ricotta is warmed.
Remove from the oven, stir gently to combine flavors, and serve warm.
