Ingredients
-
16 oz 85% lean ground turkey
13.25 oz box whole wheat elbow macaroni, cooked
1 small onion, chopped
1-2 cups salsa (I used 2c.)
1 packet taco seasoning
4 oz neufchatel cheese
1/2 cup plain low-fat greek yogurt
1 cup 2% shredded cheddar cheese
pepper & garlic powder, to taste
chopped green onions, optional
Tips
I used 85% lean ground turkey, because that is what I had on hand. You could even cut more fat by using even leaner ground turkey or beef. I would also suggest that if sodium content is a concern to you, then use a low sodium taco seasoning packet, or make your own homemade taco seasoning.
Directions
Brown ground turkey & chopped onion in a large pan. Drain grease then return back to pan. Add salsa, taco seasoning, neufchatel cheese, greek yogurt, pepper, & garlic powder-mix until neufchatel cheese completely melts. Next, add cooked macaroni to meat mixture and mix well. Spread mixture into 13 x 9 casserole dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in oven at 350 degrees x 20 minutes. Top with chopped green onions if desired.
