4 Fresh Lasagna sheets (or any lasagna noodles you prefer)

6 Cups chopped fresh spinach

1 Container (400 g) Part Skim ricotta cheese

Directions

 

1. In a large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg and chopped spinach.  Set aside

3.  Add the tomato sauce, herbs and chili flakes to the onion and mushroom mixture and reduce to low.

4. In a separate pan, cook turkey until browned.

5. Add turkey to the tomato sauce mixture.

6. In a 9x13 pan, pour half of the tomato sauce/turkey mixture.  Then add a layer of noodles.

7. Spread the ricotta cheese & spinach mixture on to the noodle layer.

8. Add another layer of noodles, then pour on the rest of the turkey mixture.

9. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.

10. Bake, covered, at 350 for approx. 40 minutes. Then remove foil, turn oven up to 425 and bake for 10-15 minutes until bubbly and browned.

 

If you prefer, you can stop before baking and freeze for baking later.  This recipe also reheats nicely.  Simply portion into microwavable containers and freeze to make a quick, healthy lunch.
