Tasty Tuesday!! Comfort Food that's Dairy & Gluten Free!

During Competition Prep, I had to avoid a few things in my diet (food sensitivities) - including chicken and dairy. Fortunately, turkey wasn't an issue, so guess what I ate a lot of? Lol! One night, my family sat down to eat a lovely, glory-smelling lasagna. Now, I'm not much of a lasagna person myself, but at that moment it was the only thing on the planet I wanted. Been there? My desire, drove me to the fridge... what do I have on hand, could I...? And Yes, I could. Wow! 

In fact, my dinner was so pretty, so yummy smelling, that they all wanted some, too! And you know what? They didn't know there was no "real" cheese in it! Ha! Sneaky Chelle strikes again!  But the very best part of this recipe is that it comes together in about 15 minutes!! Woot!! If you don't have precooked turkey or chicken breast, grab a rotisserie chicken on the way home and whip this one up tonight. You will NOT be disappointed!!

1/4 tsp Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb or Italian Blend
Olive Oil cooking spray
1/4 cup Marinara sauce (I used Newman's Own)
1/4 cup Daiya Mozzarella shreds

Wash and chop mushrooms and onion.
Heat non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Add mushrooms, onions and Mrs Dash. Cook until softened.
Add spinach and cooked turkey breast, spray with oil again if needed.
Stir, cooking until spinach is wilted and turkey is warmed.
Remove from heat.
Immediately add marinara and "cheese", stirring to combine.
Allow to rest 1 minute for "cheese" to melt.
