Baked Ziti with ground turkey for 5 Ingredients

15 ounces lean ground turkey	1/2 cup onion chopped
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed	14 1/2 ounces low-sodium crushed tomatoes chopped (1 15-oz can low-sodium tomatoes)
5 ounces ziti pasta	1/2 cup green bell pepper
7 1/2 ounces ricotta cheese, part skim milk	5 ounces button mushrooms
1/3 pound shredded lowfat mozzarella cheese	1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
Sauce	1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions for Baked Ziti with ground turkey for 5

Mix ground turkey with fennel seeds. Brown turkey in large saucepan. Remove from pan.

Spray saucepan with cooking spray or brush with small amount of olive oil. Saute onions, garlic, and peppers, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining sauce ingredients. Raise heat to a boil, then lower to simmer for 45 minutes (or however long you've got!)

Preheat oven to 350F.

Cook ziti in boiling water until tender, according to package directions.

Reserve 1/3 of mozzarella cheese. Mix browned meat with ricotta and remaining mozzarella.
Ladle 1/3 of sauce in bottom of pan. Add 1/2 of pasta. Spread 1/2 of cheese mixture. Layer again with 1/3 of sauce, 1/2 of pasta, 1/2 of cheese mixture. Use a spoon to remove trapped air and get a little bit of mixing in the layers. Add the final 1/3 of sauce to the top. Top with the reserved mozzarella cheese.

Bake for about 1 hour, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.

If necessary, reheat at 350F until hot through.
