INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1.3 oz Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
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 non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato sauce, allowing it to simmer briefly with the turkey.
Mix in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the sauce.
Combine the cooked ziti with the turkey and spinach mixture, then fold in the part-skim ricotta until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a small baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve.
