INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce, low sodium
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
Fresh Basil sprigs (for garnish)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Mix in the cooked pasta, ensuring it is well coated with the sauce and turkey mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving.
