PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish with a touch of olive oil.

• 2

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain lasagna noodles until they are al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 3

  In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground turkey and minced garlic until the meat is thoroughly browned.

• 4

  Stir the fresh spinach, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano into the turkey until the greens are wilted and the moisture has evaporated.

• 5

  Place the cottage cheese in a small blender and pulse until completely smooth, then stir it together with the ricotta cheese in a bowl.

• 6

  Spread two tablespoons of the tomato puree on the bottom of the baking dish, then layer with a lasagna noodle, half of the turkey mixture, and half of the cheese blend.

• 7

  Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients and finish with a final layer of tomato puree, shredded mozzarella, and grated parmesan.

• 8

  Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling and golden brown before serving hot.
