Yield: 6 Servings

30 30 60

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey breast
1 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces spaghetti
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tablespoon reduced-fat stick margarine, melted
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the turkey, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, basil, fennel seed and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to package directions; drain. In a bowl, combine the spaghetti, egg substitute, margarine, Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes. Form a crust in a 9-in. pie plate coated with cooking spray.
Stir 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese into the turkey mixture; spoon into spaghetti crust. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake 15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into wedges. Yield: 6 servings.
