INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 medium Onion (diced)
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with dried Italian herbs, and continue to cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato sauce into the turkey mixture and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt slightly into the sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and spinach sauce in a baking dish. Dollop the part-skim ricotta cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meal.
