INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1 cup raw Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 medium Onion, chopped
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the lean ground turkey. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces.
Mix in the tomato sauce and dried basil, allowing the flavors to meld for about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate pot, briefly toss the cooked whole wheat ziti with fresh raw spinach until just wilted.
Combine the turkey mixture with the pasta and spinach, then stir in the part-skim ricotta cheese to create a creamy texture.
Transfer the entire mixture into a small baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes to allow the flavors to integrate and the dish to heat evenly.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
