A delightful twist on a classic baked pasta dish, featuring turkey and a creamy cheese blend.
Cook the ziti pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Ensure the pasta is slightly undercooked as it will continue cooking in the oven.
In a skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned, then remove from heat.
Break the turkey into small pieces while cooking for even browning.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, chopped parsley, beaten egg, salt, and pepper.
Mix until smooth for an even distribution of flavors.
Combine the cooked turkey with half of the tomato sauce and the cheese mixture, then gently fold in the cooked pasta.
Ensure the pasta is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, top with the remaining tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Spread the cheese evenly for a golden crust.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to set the layers.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy!
Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
