INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped small onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the dried Italian herbs.
Pour in the tomato sauce and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti, fresh spinach, turkey mixture, and half of the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese. Toss until well mixed.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
