Lite Lasagna image

Light on calories and fat, but definitely not on taste! This is just like traditional lasagna but with a few changes to ease the diet-conscious mind.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground turkey
10 -15 whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 (8 ounce) container fat-free cottage cheese
1 (8 ounce) bag shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
1 red bell pepper, chopped
5 scallions, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
Italian spices
garlic
basil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brown the turkey meat, drain and rinse and season with desired seasonings (I find Italian seasonings and garlic work best).
  • Simmer the spaghetti sauce on low heat, covered. Stir in chopped onions, scallions, and bell pepper as well as seasonings (basil, salt, pepper).
  • Stir in the cooked and rinsed turkey meat and allow to simmer until bubbling.
  • Prepare a lasagna pan (14 by 9, I believe) by placing one layer of 5 lasagna noodles, a layer of sauce, a layer of cottage cheese and then a layer of cheddar cheese.
  • Repeat for a second layer.
  • Bake in the oven for one hour, removing during the last ten minutes to sprinkle more cheddar cheese on top.
  • Serve with garlic bread and salad and enjoy!
