INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 oz Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Chopped Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and Italian seasoning; cook for an additional minute.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, ensuring it's fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt and the flavors to meld for about 3-4 minutes.
Mix the cooked pasta into the turkey and spinach mixture until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a small baking dish and dollop the low-fat ricotta cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the top to heat through.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
