INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
2 ounces Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella
1/4 cup chopped Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach into the skillet. Allow the spinach to wilt slightly and the flavors to combine, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs if desired.
Mix the cooked pasta into the turkey and spinach mixture until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
