Ingredients

• 9 sheets whole-grain lasagna noodles
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 24 ounces low-sodium marinara sauce
• 1.5 cups fat-free ricotta cheese
• 2 cups low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the whole-grain lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until fully browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the marinara sauce, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the fat-free ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, egg, and 1/4 cup of the low-fat mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta and spinach mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the turkey marinara sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1/3 of the remaining low-fat mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 10

Repeat the layers two more times: noodles, ricotta mixture, turkey marinara, and mozzarella. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on the final layer.

Step 11

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.

Step 13

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
