  • 15 � 18 frozen all-natural turkey meatballs
  • 2 cups part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons creamy goat cheese (I used Chavrie original goat cheese)

  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 18 ounces marinara sauce (3/4 of a standard 24-ounce jar)

  2. Spray 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. Cut baguette into one-inch-thick slices and arrange in baking dish, packing tightly to fit.
  4. Combine goat cheese, Greek yogurt and spices and spread mixture over bread slices. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Bake 6 � 7 minutes until cheese bubbles.
