How to Make Healthy Low Fat Lasagna

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon nonstick cooking spray in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 pound ground turkey, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook, breaking up the turkey, until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Stir in 24 ounces (2 jars) your favorite low-sodium marinara sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 large eggs. Mix well.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Layer 2 cups of the meat sauce in the prepared baking dish. Top with 6-8 lasagna noodles (oven-ready preferred). Spread half of the remaining meat sauce evenly over the noodles. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle half of the remaining 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer. Top with the remaining lasagna noodles and the rest of the meat sauce.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
  9. Let the lasagna stand for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
