Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons light cream cheese, softened to room temperature

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder 

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder 

  • ¼ teaspoon ground mustard 

  • ½ teaspoon salt 

  • ½ cup reduced-fat shredded Gruyère or Cheddar cheese 

  • 3 cups broccoli florets 

  • 10 ounces cooked turkey breast, sliced about ½-inch thick

Please do not mix Lean & Green recipies in with Lean & Green +. It's very confusing and a time waster for newbies.
