INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until it's thoroughly browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with dried basil, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
Mix in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
In a bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey and spinach mixture, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish. Dollop the part-skim ricotta cheese over the top and gently mix slightly if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed baked ziti.
