INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
Dried Basil and Red Pepper Flakes (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add chopped garlic and quartered onions, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Season with dried basil and red pepper flakes.
Once the turkey is nearly cooked, stir in the marinara sauce and allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes.
In a separate pot, prepare the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine the cooked ziti, turkey marinara mixture, and fresh spinach in an oven-safe dish. Gently fold in the low-fat ricotta cheese to create a creamy texture throughout the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed baked ziti.
