INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 oz Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach (raw, for garnish)
1 cup Cooked Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, brown the lean ground turkey over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the cooked spinach and marinara sauce with the turkey in the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer together for a few minutes.
In a bowl, gently fold in the low-fat ricotta cheese with the turkey mixture.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey, spinach, and ricotta mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish, and top with a layer of fresh raw spinach for added color and freshness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until heated through and slightly bubbly.
Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
