Ingredients

    5 oz. (about 1 1/4 cups) uncooked elbow macaroni with at least 2g fiber per 2-oz. serving
    10 oz. raw lean ground turkey
    2 tbsp. ketchup
    1/2 cup finely chopped onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
    24 oz. (about 6 cups) frozen cauliflower and low-fat cheese sauce (like the kind by Green Giant)
    3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
    2 scallions, thinly sliced
    Optional: salt and black pepper

Tips

I portioned them out in 3 2.75 c. containers, original recipe is 8 servings (about 1 cup)


Directions

In a large pot, prepare pasta very al dente, cooking for about half of the time indicated on the package. Drain well and set aside.

In a bowl, combine turkey and ketchup (onion powder, to taste). Mix well. Add frozen cauliflower and cheese sauce, and broccoli and cheese sauce, and gently mix. Transfer mixture to a crock pot.

Add cooked pasta to the crock pot and gently stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 - 4 hours or on low for 7 - 8 hours, until the turkey is fully cooked.

Add cheese wedges and scallions, and stir until evenly distributed.

If you like, season to taste with salt and pepper. Dig in!
