    Turkey Skillet Casserole

    How to Make Turkey Skillet Casserole

    With this hearty dish, the pasta cooks right in the sauce for a quick and easy one-pot meal. Turkey, mushrooms, and spinach give it a light touch. Instead of fresh turkey, you could use leftover turkey from a Thanksgiving feast! For a lower-carb version, use zucchini noodles instead of linguini.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Heat oil in a medium=size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, onion and garlic. Sauté 3 minutes, turning turkey pieces to brown all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    2. Add the pasta sauce, water, mushrooms and linguine. Stir to mix well. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid, and cook 3 minutes. The linguine should be cooked through. Add a little water if sauce is dry before pasta is cooked.
    3. Add spinach and basil, stirring until spinach wilts. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the cheese on top. Spoon sour cream over cheese. Serve on 2 dinner plates.
    4. Cook’s Tip: It’s important to use fresh pasta from the supermarket for this recipe. Fettuccine can be used instead of linguine.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a large glass baking dish, stir together the marinade ingredients. Remove and set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade.
    2. Add the fish to the marinade remaining in the dish, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes-1 hour, turning occasionally.
    3. Drain the fish, discarding the marinade. Pat the fish dry with paper towels.
    4. Lightly spray the grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high. Or lightly spray a large indoor grill pan with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat.
    5. Meanwhile, soak six 12-inch wooden skewers for at least 10 minutes in cold water to keep them from charring, or use metal skewers. Lightly spray the skewers with cooking spray. For each kebab, thread each skewer with 2 tuna cubes, 2 bell pepper squares, 2 slices of squash, 2 onion wedges, 2 pineapple cubes, and 2 tomatoes. Baste with the reserved marinade.
    6. Grill the kebabs for 4 minutes. Turn over. Grill for 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked to the desired doneness.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Mix the tofu and sesame ginger salad dressing in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes.
    2. Once the tofu is done marinating, remove the tofu from the marinade and reserve the marinade.
    3. Add the sesame oil and cooking spray to a wok or large sauté pan over high heat. Add the tofu and stir fry for 7-8 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown.
    4. Add the broccoli and mushrooms, and stir fry for 3-4 minutes. Add in the scallions and almonds, and stir fry for an additional 2 minutes.
    5. In a bowl or cup, whisk together the vegetable broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, hot sauce, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, and garlic. Whisk in the reserved sesame ginger dressing marinade. Pour the mixture over the tofu and bring to a boil.
    6. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
