INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until they are soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the marinara sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes. Then, fold in the fresh spinach until it wilts.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti pasta with the turkey-spinach mixture. Dollop spoonfuls of part-skim ricotta cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, protein-packed baked ziti.
