INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the marinara sauce and add the fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked ziti, turkey-sauce mixture, and dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese. Gently mix to distribute the cheese without over stirring.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dish to heat through.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
