Yield: 9 servings (serving size: 1 square of lasagna)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1  pound  ground turkey breast
  • 1 1/2  cups  chopped onion
  • 2  garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2  (26-ounce) jars low-fat marinara sauce
  • 1  (16-ounce) carton fat-free cottage cheese
  • 1/4  cup  egg substitute
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) preshredded fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 1  tablespoon  dried parsley flakes
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1  (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 8  cooked lasagna noodles
  • 2  cups  (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add turkey, onion, and garlic; cook until meat is browned, stirring to crumble. Add 5 3/4 cups marinara sauce; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Combine cottage cheese, egg substitute, Parmesan, parsley, pepper, and spinach; stir well.

Spread remaining marinara sauce in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 4 noodles over marinara; top with cottage cheese mixture and half of the mozzarella. Spoon half of the turkey mixture over the mozzarella. Arrange the remaining noodles over turkey mixture. Top with remaining turkey mixture and mozzarella.

Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until cheese melts and sauce is bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

This will now be my "go to" lasagna recipe. I used lean ground beef (7%) as we are not ground turkey fans and the fat content was the same anyway. My husband is very picky about his lasagna as it is his favorite food. We all thought this was a winner - and it sneaks in more veggies for the kids which is always a winner.01/17/10

My husband and I loved this recipe! It was good and easy to make. It actually made 12 servings instead of 9...and those were generous portions! I followed the recipe almost exactly but instead of cooking the lasagna noodles I just put them in dry and let them cook in the oven. I also used an italian seasoning mix instead of parsley. There are so many other ingredients you could add to this and it would be equally delicious.01/12/10
