MAC AND CHEESE WITH GROUND TURKEY CASSEROLE



Mac and Cheese With Ground Turkey Casserole image

This was a total experiment. For my first try it actually didn't come out too bad. It was a little dry so I think for next time I will omit one egg, add more milk (or even some fat free half and half), and not sure if I want to add the ricotta again. The recipe you see below though is exactly the amounts that I used. Try it and play around with the ingredients as much as you like. I found this recipe on Johanna's Recipe Blogg. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.
