INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat macaroni (cooked)
3 oz lean ground turkey
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Steam or lightly sauté broccoli until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat milk, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and Dijon mustard. Stir until the cheese starts to melt and the mixture becomes creamy.
Mix the cooked macaroni, ground turkey, and broccoli in a large bowl. Pour the creamy milk and cheese mixture over the ingredients and gently combine.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dish is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
