Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound lean ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1-1/4 teaspoons pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 cups cubed day-old sourdough bread
1/2 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers
6 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
2 cups egg substitute
2 cups 2% milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 green onions, sliced

Steps:

In a large skillet, cook the turkey, onion, fennel, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, cayenne and nutmeg over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
Place bread cubes in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with turkey mixture, red peppers, Brie and Parmesan cheeses and basil. In a large bowl, whisk the egg substitute, milk, mustard and remaining pepper; pour over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 4-6 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with green onions.
Yield: 12 servings.
