Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce
  • 15 oz part-skim ricotta
  • 1 ½ cups low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
  • 12 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Brown ground turkey with oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano in a skillet over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes.
  2. Stir marinara into the skillet, simmer 5 minutes, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Mix ricotta, cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  4. Spread a thin layer of sauce in a 9x13 dish, then layer noodles, ricotta mix, mozzarella, and sauce three times, ending with sauce and cheese on top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 more minutes until bubbly and golden.
  6. Let lasagna rest 10 to 15 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

Let the lasagna rest 10 to 15 minutes after baking for clean slices. If you skip the rest, it will still taste great but might be a little messy on the plate. Use a serrated knife for the easiest cutting.
