Ingredients

1 cup onion, chopped

1 cup green bell pepper, chopped

1 1/4 lb. ground turkey

2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning

One 28 oz. can diced tomatoes

One 15 oz. can tomato sauce

15 oz. cottage cheese or ricotta cheese

8 oz. shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese, plus 2 oz. to sprinkle on top

One 10 oz. package chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained

One 24 oz. package of ready-to-bake lasagna noodles (use only 16 noodles)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: One pinch of nutmeg

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat until hot over high heat.

Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the ground turkey and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently.

Add the Italian seasoning, diced tomatoes (with the juice from the can) and the tomato sauce; stir to combine and bring to a boil while stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

In a bowl mix together cottage cheese or ricotta, 8 ounces of shredded mozzarella and chopped spinach. Stir together and season with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of nutmeg (optional).

Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray and spread 1 cup of the sauce (from Step 5) across the bottom of pan.

Add 4 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread 1/2 of the cottage cheese mixture (from Step 6) or ricotta mixture over the noodles

Top with 4 more lasagna noodles, spread 3 cups of the tomato sauce (from Step 5) over noodle layer.

Repeat Step 8 and top with the remaining 4 noodles. Top with the remaining sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese.

Place lasagna pan on a cookie sheet in the oven to prevent it from bubbling over onto the oven floor.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes until hot and bubbly. Let pan cool 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Storage: The lasagna can be stored in the fridge for 2 days or in the freezer for up to a week.
