- Spread 1/4 cup cottage cheese in the bottom of each of 4 oven-safe bowls.
- Divide cooked turkey evenly among the bowls.
- Top each bowl with 1/4 cup marinara, 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1 tablespoon turkey pepperoni, and 1 tablespoon sliced olives.

Notes
Choose full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese based on preference. Both work equally well. For meal prep, cook turkey up to 2 days ahead and store in the refrigerator. Reheat individual bowls in the microwave for 60-90 seconds or in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes.
