INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 small Zucchini
1 small Onion
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until it's browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the dried Italian herbs.
Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini. Add them to the skillet with the turkey and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey and veggie mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
