PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  In a small skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and turkey sausage (casing removed) until fully cooked; drain any excess fat.

• 3

  Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet with the meat and simmer on low for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.

• 4

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, liquid egg whites, chopped fresh spinach, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 5

  Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a small individual-sized baking dish.

• 6

  Place 0.5 sheet of whole wheat lasagna noodles over the sauce (break to fit if necessary), followed by a portion of the ricotta mixture and more meat sauce.

• 7

  Repeat the layers twice more, finishing with the remaining meat sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

• 8

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
