Ingredients

2 cups asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces

1/2 cup thin wedges red onion

1 teaspoon canola oil

4 cups multi-grain bread cubes (about 5 1/2 slices)

2 cups shredded or cubed cooked turkey

1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1/2 teaspoon dried sage, crushed

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups lowfat milk

4 eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation

  1. In a large skillet cook asparagus, sweet pepper, and onion in hot oil over medium heat 4 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  2. Grease a 2-quart square baking dish. Spread half of the bread cubes in the dish. Top with the turkey, asparagus mixture, cottage cheese, herbs, and salt. Top with remaining bread cubes.
  3. In a medium bowl whisk together milk and egg product. Pour evenly over the layers in the dish. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.
  4. Bake, uncovered, in a 325 degrees F oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
