INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Cooked Whole Wheat Ziti
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (no salt added)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Diced Onion
1 clove Minced Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a pot, bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, dried basil, and oregano.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach to the turkey mixture, letting the spinach wilt and the flavors meld, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine the cooked ziti with the turkey and spinach sauce, making sure everything is evenly mixed.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven, let stand for a couple of minutes, then serve warm.
