Turkey Lasagna
This past Saturday we attended the Marine Corps Birthday Ball! It is so fun to get all dressed up with friends and go to a ball!! The men all looked smashing and the ladies looked gorgeous. Here are some pictures from the event that was held in Richmond Virginia.
We had a good time with great friends!
I am also so happy to say that Jon and I are close to wrapping up the submission of my immigration papers!
My friend Anna F (the beautiful pregnant wife in my photos) and I worked hard at getting our immigration medical, police record and fingerprints, official photos, flu and Td shots etc this week. I found myself making recipes I had previously posted because of time constraints! But last night I made a blog worthy recipe- Healthy Turkey Lasagna! This one is inspired by the recipe on the flip side of Ronzoni's healthy harvest whole grain lasagna pasta.
Healthy Turkey Lasagna
What you will need:
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 3 cups spaghetti sauce
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 container of small curd cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- lasagna pasta (I use Ronzoni healthy harvest, in which case you do not cook pasta prior to making)
- Pre heat oven to 350 degrees
- Brown turkey in pan, add spaghetti sauce and water and let simmer for 10 minutes
- In bowl, mix all cottage cheese, half of other cheese, 2 eggs and pepper
- In a casserole, pour in 1 cup of meat sauce
- Lay out 3 pieces of lasagna pasta uncooked (I always have to break them so they fit)
- Pour in 1 cup of meat sauce, 1/2 of cheese mixture and 3 more pasta pieces
- Pour in the rest of the meat sauce and sprinkle leftover cheese on top
- Cover and bake for 45 minutes
- Uncover and bake for 10 minutes so the cheese gets bubbly
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving

P.S. Believe it or not, the cheesy goodness you are pouring into the lasagna is not as high in fat as you might think!
