INSTRUCTIONS

Recipe By: LHJ ONLINE http://www.lhj.com  Melt butter in large skillet
over medium-high heat. Add onions and  garlic; cook until onions are
translucent, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, with  hands, mix turkey, salt,
pepper, cinnamon, cumin and zucchini in  medium bowl. Add mixture to
skillet and cook, stirring to break up  meat, until turkey is no longer
pink, 10 minutes. Stir in broth and  parsley; cook 30 seconds more. Set
aside. Make White Sauce:  Meanwhile, melt butter in medium saucepan
over medium-high heat.  Whisk in flour and cook 2 minutes. Gradually
whisk in milk, salt,  pepper and nutmeg; cook, stirring constantly,
until sauce begins to  boil, 2 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer 5
minutes. Remove from heat;  whisk in ricotta and Parmesan, then egg
yolk. Set aside. In large  saucepan of boiling salted water, cook
macaroni until just tender.  Drain. Transfer to medium bowl and toss
with butter, Parmesan, salt  and pepper. Stir in 1/2 cup white sauce
until blended. Spread half  the macaroni on bottom of shallow 2-quart
microwaveproof dish. Layer  evenly with meat mixture, then remaining
macaroni. Spoon on remaining  sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate overnight. To serve,  turn back one section of plastic wrap
to vent. Microwave covered on  Medium (50% power) 10 minutes. Rotate
dish and microwave 10 minutes  more. Meanwhile, heat broiler. Remove
plastic wrap and broil  casserole 6 inches from heat source 2 to 3
minutes, until top is  lightly browned. Garnish with parsley, if
desired. Makes 6 servings.  Assemble this lightened-up version of the
classic Greek dish the night  before, and all you need to do at serving
time is pop it in the  microwave. Serve with a cucumber salad dressed
with lemon juice and  dill.  Posted to MC-Recipe Digest by "Joyce
