INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz Italian turkey sausage

1.5 sheets whole wheat lasagna noodles

0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a small individual-sized baking dish.

• 2

  In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the Italian turkey sausage by breaking it into small crumbles until browned and fully cooked.

• 3

  Boil the whole wheat lasagna noodles in a pot of salted water according to package directions until just al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 4

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese with the dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 5

  Spread two tablespoons of the marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish to create a non-stick base.

• 6

  Begin layering by placing a portion of the noodles on the bottom, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture and half of the fresh baby spinach.

• 7

  Add half of the cooked turkey sausage and another spoonful of marinara sauce, then repeat the layers one more time.

• 8

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the final top layer of sauce.

• 9

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

• 10

  Allow the lasagna to rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the layers stay intact when sliced.
