INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Spinach (raw)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1 clove Minced Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook thoroughly until the turkey is browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In the meantime, cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and combine with the cooked turkey mixture.
Fold in the fresh spinach and ricotta cheese, mixing gently until the spinach wilts and the ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and warm in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, stir gently, and serve immediately.
