INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until it is al dente. Drain and set aside.
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 and cook until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the low-sodium tomato sauce and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and spinach mixture. Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
