Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cooking spray
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 pound ground turkey
4 cups bottled salsa
2 teaspoons ground cumin
8 garlic cloves, minced and divided
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) carton part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup (4 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
1 large egg white
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
15 precooked lasagna noodles
1 cup (4 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat Mexican blend or cheddar cheese
Oregano sprigs (optional)

Steps:

  • Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion, and cook for 3 minutes. Add turkey; cook until browned, stirring to crumble. Add salsa, cumin, half the garlic, and beans. Place ricotta in a food processor, and process for 1 minute or until smooth. Add remaining garlic, cream cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and egg white; pulse 2 to 3 times. Add the spinach, and pulse 2 to 3 times. Spread 3/4 cup turkey mixture in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 3 noodles over the turkey mixture, and top with 1 cup ricotta mixture, 3/4 cup turkey mixture, and 1/4 cup Mexican cheese. Repeat layers, ending with noodles. Spread remaining turkey mixture over noodles, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Cover with foil; store in refrigerator up to 24 hours. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake, covered, at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Mexican cheese, and bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with oregano sprigs, if desired

This lasagna is a great way to use up leftover cornbread. It's also a great dish to take to a potluck.

This recipe was a disaster! The cornbread crust was too dry and the filling was bland.
