INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
0.5 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.25 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the pan and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spatula.
Stir in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning, allowing the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate pot, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti and fresh spinach. Mix in half of the shredded mozzarella so the spinach wilts slightly.
Add the turkey and tomato sauce mixture to the pasta and spinach, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top, and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
