INGREDIENT NOTES:
LOW-CALORIE RAMEN NOODLES:
- We use this to give a lighter casserole to your noodles, and they cook quickly. They absorb the cheeseburger sauce and give low-carbohydrate options in your recipe. You may replace it with whole wheat spaghetti as per your choice.
FAT-FREE GROUND TURKEY:
- You will use 99% fat-free ground turkey to give a lot of protein to your bake. Utilize ground chicken as another option in this dish.
FAT-FREE TURKEY BACON:
- Fat-free turkey bacon provides a smoky bacon taste and little fat to your meal. Also, it includes the classic bacon cheeseburger taste in your casserole. We may use vegetarian bacon as an alternative.
REDUCED-FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Sharp cheddar gives a bold taste to your dish. It keeps your casserole creamy without including too many calories. Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese can be a great alternative for this.
FAT-FREE GREEK YOGURT:
- It includes creamy texture & little tangy taste to your sauce. You may use light sour cream or blended silken tofu as another idea.
FAT-FREE COTTAGE CHEESE:
- Blended cottage cheese makes your casserole creamy & rich. You may use ricotta cheese as another option.
CAULIFLOWER RICE:
- It gives extra volume and nutrients to your meal. Also, it blends into your casserole easily and absorbs taste well. You may use finely chopped zucchini or cabbage as per your preference.
SUGAR-FREE KETCHUP & MUSTARD:
- These are the ingredients that give a classic cheeseburger taste and low calories to your meal. We may use regular ketchup or spicy brown mustard as another option.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm the oven to 375° & coat your baking dish with spray.
- You will cook your noodles according to the packet instructions without the seasoning packet & drain the noodles, and then set them aside.
- We will cook chopped turkey bacon in your large skillet over a moderate setting and remove the cooked bacon from the skillet.
- Then, properly cook ground turkey & diced onion and stir garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt for one minute.
- Now stir chicken broth, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Greek yogurt, & blended cottage cheese to make a creamy mixture.
- We will mix cauliflower rice, tomatoes, pickles, and cooked ramen noodles together, then pour the mixture into your dish.
