INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.
Fold in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, then turn off the heat.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked ziti, turkey mixture, and ricotta cheese. Mix gently to combine everything evenly.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the flavors are well blended.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced meal.
