Creamy Golden Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Oven-baked chickpea pasta and lean turkey folded into a velvety Greek yogurt cheese sauce for a comforting, protein-packed meal that feels truly indulgent.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
3 oz ground turkey
0.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese
0.5 cup cauliflower florets
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions to ensure an al dente bite.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground turkey until fully cooked and slightly browned.
Steam the cauliflower until very tender, then blend with the Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until a smooth sauce forms.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta and browned turkey with the creamy cauliflower sauce until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, top with shredded cheddar cheese and a dusting of smoked paprika.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling and golden.
