INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (no salt added)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Minced Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the Italian seasoning during the cooking.
Mix in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Then add the fresh spinach, stirring until it wilts slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the turkey and sauce mixture.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow a few minutes to cool before serving to ensure the flavors meld together.
