INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and a handful of fresh spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt slightly.
Combine the cooked ziti with the turkey and sauce mixture in the skillet. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Transfer the mixture into a small baking dish. Dollop the part-skim ricotta cheese over the top, gently stirring it into the dish for a cheesy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, hearty meal.
