INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 medium Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked ziti, turkey marinara mixture, and ricotta cheese. Mix gently until well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and top with fresh basil if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
