INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 clove Garlic
1/4 small Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and dried basil.
Once the turkey is cooked, stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
Mix in the fresh spinach into the turkey sauce until just wilted.
In a separate bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey and spinach mixture. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a couple of minutes, then serve warm.
