Notes

Feel free to experiment with the filling using ground turkey, plant-based meats, or beans. For a dairy-free version, skip the egg or replace it with flaxseed gel. Ensure to pair the dish with sides like mashed potatoes or salads for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, and they can be frozen for longer storage.
