GRAMMY'S OVERNIGHT LASAGNA



Grammy's Overnight Lasagna image

My Grammy's version of lasagna. Prepared the day before and left in the fridge overnight, it pops quickly into the oven and is on the table in no time. Sometimes I'll gussy it up with herbs and spices, but there is something nice and simple and homey about how Grammy made it. Easily halved or doubled!

MEXICAN LASAGNA LITE



Mexican Lasagna Lite image

This is a lower-fat version of a popular Tex-Mex style casserole. You can increase or decrease the number of tortillas used in order to fit your tray. I'm obviously using low- and no-fat ingredients which can be substituted successfully with full fat versions with great results. If needed, this can all be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated to store. Hope you enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound 99%-lean ground turkey
