This is my version of a light lasagna recipe found in Self magazine. It can be frozen in individual size portions for later use. To further reduce fat, the ground turkey breast can be cooked separately and then rinsed with water and pressed dry before adding to the sauce.

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 whole wheat lasagna noodles (about 8 oz)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground turkey
1 cup mushroom, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, deseeded and diced
1 large tomatoes, diced
3 cups tomato sauce
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 cups fresh spinach, chopped
2 cups fat-free ricotta cheese
3 teaspoons dried chives
8 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a large nonstick frying pan with vegetable cooking spray.
  • Cook onion and garlic for several minutes stirring constantly.
  • Add turkey and cook (crumbling the meat fine) until barely done about 4 minutes (if using precooked rinsed meat you don't need to cook for 4 minutes, just go to the next step).
  • Add the mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the green pepper, tomato, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, parsley and pepper and simmer 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove frying pan from heat.
  • While the sauce is cooking, cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water that has been sprayed with vegetable cooking spray until al dente.
  • Drain noodles and rinse with cold water and drain.
  • In a bowl, combine ricotta and chives, mix in spinach.
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray.
  • Arrange 3 lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan.
  • Spread evenly with one third of the ricotta mixture, then one third of the turkey mixture, and sprinkle with one third of mozzarella.
  • Repeat twice with remaining ingredients.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until cheese bubbles.
  • Cool at least 5 minutes before cutting.

The lasagna was a bit too watery for my liking. I think I would have drained the spinach better next time.
