A delicious version of lasagna for those of us who are health conscious. Ingredients:
9 whole-wheat lasagna noodles |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 pound ground turkey breast |
3 cups tomato sauce |
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
3 tablespoons italian seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
6 cups chopped fresh spinach |
2 cups fat-free ricotta cheese |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 2 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook 5 to 7 minutes more, stirring to break up any large chunks of meat. Stir in tomato sauce, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer for 2 minutes and season to taste.
4. Combine spinach, ricotta, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
5. To assemble, arrange 3 noodles lengthwise in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread with 1/3 the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the turkey mixture, and 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with remaining mozzarella. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
