INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
3 Fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh basil leaves; let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey sauce mixture and transfer it into a lightly greased baking dish.
Top the pasta evenly with low-fat mozzarella and a sprinkle of grated parmesan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
