I got this recipe from a friend who read it on Runner's World. It looks tasty and has so much protein, which is awesome since I don't eat nearly enough. I'll be buying the ingredients tomorrow at the DeKalb Farmer's Market and making it either tomorrow or Tuesday. I'll let you know how it goes.
Protein Penne Casserole
This delicious dish delivers 42 grams of protein per serving, along with ample carbs and fiber, all for 425 calories.
3 cups cooked whole-grain penne pasta
1 pound ground turkey, browned with 1 small onion and 2 cloves garlic
1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes with herbs (plus 1/2 can water)
1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup part-skim grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced olives or olive tapenade
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine pasta, cooked turkey-onion mixture, tomato, liquid, and spinach in a bowl and put in a two-quart glass casserole dish sprayed with canola cooking spray. Top with grated cheese and sliced olives. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, uncover for another 15 minutes until cheese is browned. Serves four.
