Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups fat-free chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated skim milk
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt, omit if using salted stock
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, crushed
3 cups chopped cooked turkey or 3 cups ground turkey
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 lb lasagna noodle, cooked al dente
1 (15 ounce) carton fat-free ricotta cheese
8 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs (1 slice ground)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine the stock and milk and bring to the boiling point, either in a microwave oven or on top of the stove.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
  • Add the hot stock-and-milk mixture, all at once, stirring constantly with a wire whisk.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and add the salt, pepper, sage and thyme and mix well.
  • Stir in the turkey and parsley and set aside.
  • Spread half of the cranberry sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Cover the sauce with a layer of the cooked lasagna noodles.
  • Top the noodles with the ricotta cheese and a third of the turkey mixture.
  • Add a second layer of noodles.
  • Spread the remaining cranberry sauce over the noodles.
  • Cover the cranberries with half of the remaining turkey mixture.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • Top with the remaining noodles, turkey mixture and shredded cheese.
  • Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the top.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bubbling and lightly browned.
  • Allow to stand for 5 minutes before cutting into eight servings, approximately 3-by-4 inches each.
