INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Extra Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente, then set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in a small amount of water or cooking spray until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the extra lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach into the turkey mixture. Allow the spinach to wilt and the flavors to meld for 3-4 minutes.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey-spinach sauce in a baking dish. Top with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly melted and bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
