INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1 cup Spinach
1/2 medium Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
Stir in the tomato sauce and spinach into the turkey mixture. Let the spinach wilt and the flavors meld for about 3-4 minutes.
Combine the cooked ziti with the turkey mixture in the skillet or a mixing bowl. Transfer the combined mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
