INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
0.25 cup Part-skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Spinach
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat and add the lean ground turkey. Cook until browned and crumbled, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the Italian seasoning and marinara sauce to the turkey and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Fold in the raw spinach to allow it to wilt slightly, then combine the cooked pasta and ricotta cheese with the turkey mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until heated through and the flavors meld.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
