Easy & Healthy Lasagna!



Ingredients:
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 small green pepper chopped (optional)
  • 1 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 1 6 oz can of tomato paste
  • 1 envelope of spaghetti sauce mix 
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups fat free cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 6 uncooked lasagna noodles (oven ready noodles)
  • 1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese



Directions:
  1. Brown ground turkey, add onions and green peppers - sautee until onions turn slightly brown. (Preheat oven to 350)
  2. Drain the browned meat and onion/green pepper mixture. Add in the tomatoes, water, tomato paste and spaghetti sauce mix. Bring to a boil. Let simmer about 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine and mix the egg, cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl.
  4. Spray a 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray
  5. Spread 2 cups of the sauce mixture on the bottom of the baking dish. Lay 3 noodles on top of the sauce. Add 1/2 of the cottage cheese mixture to the top of the noodles. On top of the cottage cheese mixture, add 1/2 of the remainder of the sauce mixture. Repeat - your top layer should be all meat sauce.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for about 50 minutes. Uncover and add mozzarella cheese. Place back in the oven uncovered for around 15 minutes.
