INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (No Salt Added)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks.
Season the turkey with garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir to combine well.
Add the tomato sauce to the turkey, stirring gently. Let the mixture simmer for about 3-4 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly into the sauce.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked ziti with the turkey and spinach sauce. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your healthy baked ziti!
