This is an old recipe from my grandmothers collection that I've updated for myself with lower fat options.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 1 13 x 9" pan, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground turkey (I use 93% lean)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 garlic clove, minced (or garlic powder)
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
6 ounces tomato paste
4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
1 cup light sour cream
2 1/2 ounces black olives, drained (sliced)
3/4 cup green onion, sliced
8 ounces egg noodles (or lasagna noodles)
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In a large skillet combine turkey, salt, sugar, tomato sauce and tomato paste. Bring to a boil stirring to break up the meat. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Combine cream cheese, sour cream, olives and green onions in a bowl, set aside.
  • Coat a 13 x 9" baking dish with cooking spray. Place 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of the dish. Layer noodles, sauce, and cream cheese mixture. (I've only ever made this with egg noodles, which only makes one layer of each item. If you use lasagna noodles, repeat layering until noodles are gone.) Top entire casserole with shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Makes 12, 3x4 inch servings.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used cauliflower rice instead of white rice in this recipe. It turned out great!

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less chili powder.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more liquid.

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I omitted them from the recipe. The casserole still turned out great!

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used low-sodium chicken broth.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more seasoning.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped broccoli to the vegetables.
