⚠️Allergens:
🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a lighter or dairy-free version, use a plain creamy plant-based sauce in place of the dairy-based sauce. To avoid wheat, swap in gluten-free pasta and gluten-free crumbs, and for a turkey-free meal use plant protein or another ground meat.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted broccoli, or garlicky green beans to balance the rich, lemony sauce. Warm dinner rolls or extra lemon wedges on the side also work well for a brighter, heartier plate.
