Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 whole wheat lasagna noodles
½ pound ground turkey
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
½ cup chopped fresh chives
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon dried basil
2 egg whites
1 (15 ounce) container reduced-fat ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons crumbled low-fat feta cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (28 ounce) jar low-fat tomato pasta sauce
½ cup shredded low-fat Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Brown ground turkey with garlic in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking the turkey up as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Stir spinach, chives, oregano, parsley, and basil into ground turkey mixture, cook until heated through, and remove from heat.
  • Lightly beat egg whites in a bowl and mix ricotta, feta, and Parmesan cheeses into beaten egg whites. Season with black pepper. Stir ground turkey mixture into cheese mixture.

  • Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish; place rolls into dish with seam sides down. Pour remaining pasta sauce over rolls and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Cover dish with aluminum foil.

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

20 lasagna noodles
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (about 3 ounces)
1 green bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
2 pounds ground beef
Freshly ground pepper
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
4 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 30-ounce container whole-milk ricotta cheese (about 3 1/3 cups)
1 pound mozzarella, grated (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Cook the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool and lay flat on a sheet of foil. Set aside.
  • Make the sauce: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, green pepper and garlic and saute 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables are starting to soften. Remove the veggie mixture from the pan, then add the ground beef to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's totally browned. Drain the excess fat, then add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, the veggie mixture and 1 tablespoon each parsley and basil and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer over low heat, 30 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Combine the ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, 3/4 cup parmesan, the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the remaining 3 tablespoons each parsley and basil. Stir to combine.
  • Assemble the lasagna: Spoon a thin layer of sauce onto the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch pan or five 6-inch disposable foil loaf pans. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons ricotta filling on each lasagna noodle, then roll them up so that the cheese is on the inside of the roll. Lay them sideways in the pan(s). (Four roll-ups will fit in each loaf pan, or you can fill a 9-by-13-inch pan.) Top with the remaining sauce and plenty of grated mozzarella and parmesan.
  • If you're making the roll-ups right away, place the pan(s) on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
