Ingredients
1 24oz jar of mushroom pasta sauce (about 3 cups)1/2 lb ground turkey, 93% lean1tsp Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend1/2 tsp Wyler's Sodium Free Chicken Bouillon1/2 c. Low fat cottage cheese1.5 tbsp White balsamic vinegar
Directions
1.) Begin by browning the turkey in a skillet on medium heat. When the turkey is about halfway cooked, add in the Mrs. Dash so that is has plenty of time to rehydrate.

2.) When the turkey is fully cooked, deglaze the pan with the white balsamic vinegar. Stir in the bouillon at this time.

3.) Once the pan is deglazed, stir in the jar of pasta sauce (you can stretch this even further by adding 1/4 water to the jar and shaking it to get the last little bits of sauce).

4.) When the sauce begins to bubble and thicken, turn the heat to low and stir in the low fat cottage cheese. The sauce is ready when it reaches your desired thickness

5.) Serve over whole wheat pasta of your choosing along with a side salad and a steamed vegetable for a complete meal (nutrition information is for the sauce only).
