Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the ground turkey between two pieces of parchment paper and press or roll into a thin rectangle.

Remove the top sheet and season the turkey with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Spread the blended cottage cheese evenly across one half of the turkey.
