INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
2 ounces Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the lean ground turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until the turkey is browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the tomato sauce to the browned turkey and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Season with freshly chopped basil, salt, and pepper as desired.
Combine the cooked pasta and turkey tomato sauce mixture in a baking dish. Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving, and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
