Makeover Sausage and Spinach Pie

By Beckylynn

Ingredients

• 1 frozen deep-dish pie shell
• 1/2 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
• 1 cup egg substitute
• 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 2/3 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 400° for 4 minutes. Remove foil; bake 4 minutes longer. Remove from the oven; reduce heat to 375°.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. In a large bowl, whisk the egg substitute, spinach, cheeses, pepper and cooked sausage. Pour into crust. Place pie on a baking sheet. Cover edges loosely with foil.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.
