INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and your choice of Italian herbs.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey mixture in the skillet, then transfer half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Spread dollops of ricotta cheese evenly over the base, then layer the remaining pasta and turkey mixture on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the flavors are melded.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
