I love pasta but it is not always the healthiest thing to have for dinner. To make this baked ziti dish a little less guilty, I use ground turkey and add a carrot to the sauce. So tasty!

- 1 onion , chopped
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 2 jars spaghetti sauce , 26 ounce
- 1 carrot , chopped
- 6 ounces provolone cheese , sliced
- 1.5 cups reduced-fat sour cream
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese , shredded
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and ground turkey until onion is translucent and turkey is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add spaghetti sauce and carrot; simmer until heated through, about 15 minutes. Layer ingredients into the prepared baking dish as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, half of the sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese, and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
