INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a nonstick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let it warm through for a couple of minutes.
Mix in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt slightly from the heat of the sauce and turkey mixture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey sauce mixture. Gently fold in the part-skim ricotta, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle a little extra pepper or herbs if desired on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until everything is bubbly and heated through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
