INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and spinach mixture, stirring gently to mix evenly.
Transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
