I combined two recipes to come up with this casserole, and it suits my family's tastes perfectly. Using ground turkey adds to the convenience.—Mildred Sherrer, Fort Worth, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 cups sliced yellow summer squash
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup crushed saltines (about 30 crackers)

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook turkey in oil over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the squash and onion. Cook until vegetables are crisp-tender; drain.
  2. In a small bowl, combine eggs, milk, cheese, butter, salt and pepper. Stir into the turkey mixture. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Sprinkle with the cracker crumbs.
  3. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.
