6oz.low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Grease a broiler-safe 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium.

Add collards, mushrooms, and garlic.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until collards are wilted and mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add pasta, turkey, and reserved cream mixture; stir to combine.

Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.

Cover with aluminum foil, and bake in preheated oven until bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Remove from oven, and remove foil; top evenly with mozzarella.

Bake at 375F until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Increase oven temperature to broil, and broil until cheese is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Remove from oven, and let rest 15 minutes before serving.
