Turkey Lasagna

Ingredients

• 9 cooked lasagna noodles
• 1 T. olive oil
• 1 lb. lean ground turkey or turkey sausage
• 1/2 c. minced onion
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 (24 oz.) jar pasta sauce
• 1 (15 oz.) container ricotta cheese
• 2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
2. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes or until fully cooked.
3. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. Once rinsed, lay each noodle out on a cookie sheet (or large plate) to avoid them from sticking together.
4. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook ground turkey, onion and garlic, until the turkey is no longer pink and fully cooked.
5. Add tomato sauce and simmer for a few minutes. Set aside.
6. In a large bowl, combine and mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, spinach, salt and pepper. Set aside.
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
8. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
9. To assemble, arrange 3 noodles lengthwise in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1/3 of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with meat sauce. Sprinkle with shredded Italian cheese.
10. Cover with foil sprayed with non-stick spray to avoid sticking. Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is fully melted. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil and enjoy!
