INGREDIENTS

4 oz Ground turkey Italian sausage

1.5 sheets Whole wheat lasagna noodles

0.25 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese

1 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese

0.5 cup Marinara sauce

1 cup Baby spinach

1 tbsp Fresh basil

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Dried oregano

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.13 tsp Sea salt

0.13 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

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

• 3

  In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the extra virgin olive oil and brown the ground turkey Italian sausage until fully cooked and crumbly.

• 4

  In a small mixing bowl, stir together the part-skim ricotta cheese, chopped fresh basil, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 5

  In a small oven-safe baking dish or individual ramekin, spread 2 tablespoons of the marinara sauce across the bottom.

• 6

  Begin layering by placing half of a noodle (trimmed to fit) over the sauce, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture, fresh baby spinach, and a portion of the cooked sausage.

• 7

  Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with the remaining marinara sauce and a topping of shredded part-skim mozzarella 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 bubbling and golden-brown.

• 9

  Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set properly.
