INGREDIENTS
4 oz lean ground turkey (95% lean)
1 cup cooked whole wheat ziti
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs such as basil or oregano.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti, fresh spinach, and turkey tomato sauce mixture. Mix gently until the spinach is slightly wilted.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and top evenly with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
