INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/3 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to the package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt and the flavors to meld, then remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the cooked pasta, turkey-spinach mixture, and low-fat ricotta cheese until well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Optionally top with a sprinkle of dried basil or additional fresh spinach for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is bubbly and heated through. Serve warm and enjoy.
