Ingredients:
1 lb extra lean ground turkey
44 ounces Hunts tomato sauce ( 1 large 29oz. can, 1 medium 15 oz. can)
1 cup chopped green peppers
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar ( used to remove acid from tomato sauce, Splenda won’t work)
2 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
1 (8 ounce) boxes hodgson mill whole wheat lasagna noodles ( or other brand)
1 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach
30 ounces about 4 cups polly-o fat-free ricotta cheese
8 ounces sargento shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated locatelli romano cheese
1 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
Brown meat in large (>3qt) saucepan, drain.
Add pepper and onions, tomato sauce, oregano, parsley, nutmeg, garlic powder, sugar, and Splenda. Simmer for 1 hour. Meanwhile, continue with next 3 steps.
Cook spinach according to directions, drain well and let cool a little.
Cook lasagna according to package directions, drain. (Separate noodles and lay out flat on wax paper or aluminum foil to keep pieces from sticking together as they cool.).
Combine ricotta, romano, 1.5 cups of the mozzarella, egg substitute, spinach, salt and pepper for filling.
In a 13″x9″ baking pan, pour a thin layer of sauce to cover the bottom. Arrange 3-4 pieces (1/3 box) of lasagna lengthwise over sauce. Spread 1/3 cheese filling over noodles, then another layer of sauce. Repeat layers of lasagna, filling and meat sauce.
Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Remove aluminum foil, sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Bake uncovered about 10 minutes longer or until lightly browned.
Allow to stand for about 10 minutes before cutting for easier handling.
