LIGHT TURKEY POT PIE
Use some of your holiday leftover turkey to make a good hearty meal. You'll need these ingredients:

  • 1 Can of low-fat cream of chicken soup

  • 1 Cup of turkey, chopped

  • 1 Bag of frozen mixed vegetables

  • 1¼ Cup all-purpose baking mix (regular or low-fat)

  • ½ Cup low fat or skim milk

  • 1 Egg or egg substitute to equal one egg
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine soup, turkey, and vegetables in a nine-inch pie plate that you've sprayed with a non-stick spray. Mix together remaining ingredients, pour over turkey mixture, and bake about 30 minutes. Double the recipe for two pies.

    LOW-FAT SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING
    With just a few substitutions, you can make delicious low-fat stuffing for your holiday bird. You will need:

  • 2 packages low or nonfat cornbread mix
  • 5 cups bread croutons or prepackaged seasoned stuffing mix
  • 8 slices cooked turkey bacon (low-salt or low-fat), broken into small pieces
  • 2 cups diced celery

  • 1 cup diced onion

  • 2-3 cans fat-free chicken broth

  • 2 T fresh parsley

  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning (less if you use seasoned crumbs)
  • Prepare cornbread per package directions. Crumble and mix with croutons or crumbs. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a nonstick skillet sprayed with butter-flavored spray, add a little chicken broth and saute onions and celery till tender. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients and add the onion and celery. Stir in the cornbread mixture, toss gently; spoon into a covered pan or dish and bake about one hour.
