INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
2 ounces Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
3 ounces Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/3 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach (cooked)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 medium Onion
1 Garlic Clove
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up as it cooks for about 5-6 minutes or until browned. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Stir in the tomato sauce and add the fresh basil. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for another 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the sauce simmers, lightly cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small baking dish, layer the ingredients beginning with a layer of turkey and tomato sauce, then add a layer of noodles, followed by dollops of part-skim ricotta cheese. Sprinkle a few spinach leaves over the ricotta.
Repeat the layers if your dish allows, finishing with a top layer of turkey sauce. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the cheese has slightly browned on top.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
