Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Ground Turkey
  • 1 Cup Cottage Cheese
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Reduced Fat Shredded Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Plain Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 Tsp EACH: Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika, Salt, Pepper
  • 1 Tbl Olive Oil

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Ground Turkey in Olive Oil until browned. Season with Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika, Salt, and Black Pepper. Break the turkey into small crumbles while cooking.
  • In a large bowl combine Cottage Cheese, Eggs, Breadcrumbs, and half of the Shredded Cheese. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1½ inch dumplings.
  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a gentle simmer. Drop the dumplings into the water and cook 3–4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and place them into serving bowls.
  • Spoon the cooked turkey crumbles over the dumplings and sprinkle the remaining Shredded Cheese on top. The heat from the dumplings will slightly melt the cheese. Serve warm.
