• 1.5 cups Low-fat ricotta cheese

• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (no-salt added)
• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes.

5. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, 1.5 cups of the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped spinach. Mix well.

7. Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

8. Place 3 lasagna noodles side by side over the sauce. Layer with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, followed by 1/3 of the meat sauce.

9. Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a final layer of meat sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

10. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

11. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
