INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 oz Whole Wheat Macaroni (dry)
1/2 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 cup Broccoli Florets (optional)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until browned and fully cooked. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
If using broccoli, steam or blanch the broccoli florets until just tender.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat milk, non-fat Greek yogurt, and half of the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Stir well to create the creamy sauce.
Mix the cooked macaroni, ground turkey, and broccoli (if using) together in an oven-safe dish. Pour the creamy sauce on top and stir gently until evenly combined.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar over the top of the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let sit for a few minutes, then serve warm.
