Directions
Lighter Fare Turkey Pesto Casserole, My previous casserole recipe for this was way to high on the calorie count and fat count for my new way of eating (lifetime diet as it were) So I’ve revised for this lighter version which I think brings out the pesto flavor so much more (Side note: used leftover turkey from the freezer and because it turned out rather dry last time, this time I threw it a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes and drained before I layered it into the casserole) , This was really good! Filling and rich tasting, it didn’t taste like a lite casserole used sauteed ground turkey for the meat and did include the optional tomato slices Served this with sauteed broccoli and red bell pepper and it was a good combination; I was thinking while I ate that if I wanted to make this a meatless dish I would just use those veggies instead of the turkey Thanks for sharing your recipe!
