Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 uncooked lasagna noodles
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (26 oz) tomato pasta sauce
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, if desired
1 cup part-skim ricotta or cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded carrot (1 small)
1 box (9 oz) frozen spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
2 egg whites or 1 egg
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Cook lasagna noodles as directed on package. Drain; rinse with hot water.
  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook ground turkey and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until turkey is no longer pink; drain, if necessary. Stir in pasta sauce, Italian seasoning and fennel. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, carrot, spinach and egg whites. Spread each cooked lasagna noodle with generous 1/4 cup spinach filling to within 1 inch of one short end. Roll up firmly toward unfilled end.
  • Reserve 1 1/2 cups sauce. In ungreased 12x8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish, pour remaining sauce. Arrange roll-ups, seam side down, in sauce. Pour reserved sauce over roll-ups.
  • Cover tightly with foil; bake 30 to 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; bake uncovered 3 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
