INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix in the cooked whole wheat ziti and fresh spinach. Let the spinach wilt slightly from the heat.
Transfer half of the turkey and pasta mixture into a small baking dish. Dollop and then gently mix in the ricotta cheese so that creamy pockets remain throughout.
Top with the remaining turkey mixture and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld.
Serve warm and enjoy a delicious, balanced meal.
