Ingredients

• 500 g Lean ground turkey
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
• 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 800 g Canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 250 g Low-fat ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 250 g Whole wheat lasagna noodles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

While the sauce is simmering, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

In a bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.

Step 9

Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half of the remaining meat sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Repeat the layers ending with a layer of noodles topped with meat sauce and the remaining cheeses.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 13

Allow the lasagna to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
