Directions

Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Unwrap the refrigerator biscuits and separate them.
-
Arrange the biscuits in the pie plate, pressing them together to cover the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.

Spoon the turkey mixture into the biscuit shell, spreading it evenly.

In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, light cottage cheese, and flour.
-
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
-
Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the turkey filling, spreading it evenly.

Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
