INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodle sheet
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes
1/4 cup Onion, chopped
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it browns, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Mix in the crushed tomatoes and allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.
Lightly blanch the whole wheat lasagna noodle sheet in boiling water for about 1 minute, then drain.
Layer the dish in a small baking dish as follows: spread a thin layer of the turkey mixture, place the noodle sheet, layer on fresh spinach, dollop and lightly spread the part-skim ricotta, and finish with a spoonful of the turkey-tomato sauce.
Repeat the layers if your dish size allows. End with a topping of sauce and a few small dollops of ricotta.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until everything is heated through and the layers meld together.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
