Healthier Million Dollar Spaghetti

Tyson asked me to make Million Dollar Spaghetti this week and you know I had to find a healthier way to make it. 😜

Here is what I came up with…

1 lb of ground turkey breast

1 jar of spaghetti sauce🔹🔹

1 cup of lowfat cottage cheese

8 oz. neufchatel cheese, softened

¼ cup of nonfat plain Greek yogurt

2 TBSP parsley

½ tsp garlic powder

1 box of whole wheat spaghetti

Cheddar or mozzarella cheese to sprinkle on top

🔹🔹Homemade spaghetti sauce is best but in a pinch, check the labels of the sauces at the store.  Stay away from Ragu or Prego.  Look for the sauces that have 5 grams or less of sugar and 250 mg or less of sodium.  Also, the ingredients list should be short and only things that you have heard of.

🔺Preheat oven to 350.

🔺Cook spaghetti according to package directions.  Drain and set aside.

🔺Cook ground turkey and stir in spaghetti sauce and let simmer.

🔺In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, softened neufchatel cheese, plain Greek yogurt, parsley, and garlic powder.  Mix until well blended.

🔺In a lightly sprayed (I suggest spraying with coconut oil) 9x13-inch pan, place half of the cooked pasta in the bottom of the dish.  Spread cheese mixture over noodles.  Top with the remaining noodles.  Pour meat sauce over the noodles and sprinkle with cheese.

🔺Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.  Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
