INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
2 cloves Garlic
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
Fresh Basil, a few sprigs (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the marinara sauce with the cooked turkey and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ziti, turkey marinara mixture, and low-fat ricotta. Mix gently until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Top with additional basil if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld.
Remove from oven, garnish with extra fresh basil if using, and serve warm.
