Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey (or sausage) and chopped onion until the meat is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally to break up the meat. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir the light cream cheese into the cooked meat mixture until it melts and combines evenly. Fold in the drained sliced mushrooms. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Unwrap the refrigerator biscuits and separate them. Arrange the biscuits in the pie plate, pressing them firmly onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Overlap them slightly to seal any gaps.
  5. Spoon the turkey and mushroom mixture into the biscuit crust, spreading it out evenly.
  6. In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, light cottage cheese, and flour. Blend or process until the mixture is completely smooth.
  7. Pour the creamy cottage cheese mixture over the turkey filling, spreading gently to cover the meat.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the filling is set and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges. Garnish with chopped tomato slices and chives if desired.
