Ingredients

8 ounces rice noodles

Nonstick cooking spray

1 pound ground turkey

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 head roasted garlic

8 ounces prepared tomato sauce

1 cup fat-free cottage cheese, drained

1 cup non-fat sour cream

1 cup shredded fontina cheese

8 scallions, sliced

1 cup shredded low-fat Cheddar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cook noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, heat a heavy non-stick pan over medium-high heat and coat it with cooking spray. Add turkey and brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon; cook until no pink color remains. Drain all the grease from the pan and then add salt and pepper. Add tomato sauce and squeeze the pulp of the roasted garlic into the turkey mixture. Stir to blend and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Combine cottage cheese, sour cream, fontina, and scallions in a bowl. Spread 1/2 of the turkey mixture across the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with 1/2 of the noodles, followed by 1/2 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers 1 more time. Sprinkle the Cheddar over top. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheesy is melted and bubbling.

This dish is a FANTASTIC healthy casserole. Highly recommended! <br /> <br />It's important that you roast the garlic until it is EASILY mashed with a fork... it makes all the difference in the world! (I roast a head with about 1 TBS of olive oil, Kosher salt, and pepper in a 400 degree oven for about 45-60 minutes). <br /> <br />Cheaper substitutions: low-fat MONTEREY JACK cheese (instead of fontina), angel hair pasta (rice noodles are tough to find sometimes...at least where I live). <br /> <br />You could also use WHOLE WHEAT angel hair to bulk up the fiber content! <br /> <br />Well worth your time... don't listen to all the bad reviews... (they probably didn't roast the garlic properly) :)
