Lowfat Cheeseburger Pie

Who doesn't love a good cheeseburger? And when you can find a recipe that is almost as good as the real thing and much healthier for you, I'd say you have found a winner! After last night's dinner disaster, I decided to play it safe tonight and go with a recipe that is already on our regular meal list. I found this recipe on sparkpeople.com where they have over 175,000 healthy recipes to try, all which include the nutritional information. Pair this pie with a yummy salad and you've got yourself a complete meal!

1 lb extra lean ground turkey
1 cup nonfat cottage cheese
1 Egg
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove crushed garlic (speaking of garlic, I always used to use the kind from a jar until I recently purchased a garlic press from The Pampered Chef (http://tinyurl.com/ovwkrn) and I am loving fresh crushed garlic, I will never go back to the stuff from a jar again!)
3/4 cup Kraft 2% shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup of Heart Smart Bisquick (mix only)
4 slices of tomato (the only way I have altered the recipe is by adding more tomato slices on top of the pie, 4 slices just isn't enough!)


Preheat oven to 350
Brown turkey, onion and garlic in a pan
While turkey is cooking, mix Bisquick and water to form a dough (add water gradually as needed for the dough). Roll dough with a rolling pin until it is flat enough to cover a pie pan.
Place dough in pie pan
Mix Worcestershire sauce in with turkey mixture
In a separate bowl, mix cottage cheese with egg
Pour turkey mixture into pie pan
Pour cottage cheese mixture over turkey
Top with shredded cheddar cheese
Then place the tomato slices on top and bake for 40 minutes.
