Ingredients:


1 tablespoon vegetable oil

12 ounces extra-lean ground turkey

14 ounces italian tomatoes -- canned

26 ounces spaghetti sauce

1 pound no-cook or regular lasagna

15 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese

2 cups low-fat cottage cheese

1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella

1 large egg white -- lightly beaten

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or parsley

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

1 bunch basil leaves for garnish
 

Preparation / Directions:


Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the turkey and cook over medium-high beat, stirring, for 3 minutes or until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes and sauce; bring to a boil. Cover; simmer for 10 minutes. If using regular lasagna noodles, cook in boiling salted water for 8 minutes. Drain. Combine the ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, half of the mozzarella, the egg white, basil or parsley, salt and pepper. Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce in the prepared dish. Cover with a layer of noodles. Spread with a quarter of the cheese mixture, then top with 1 cup sauce. Continue to make layers with the remaining noodles, the cheese mixture and the sauce. Cover the dish with foil. Bake at 375'F for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan. Bake 10 minutes longer. Let the hot lasagna stand for 10 minutes to firm up before serving. DO-AHEAD TIPS: Prepare the recipe through Step 5, cool, cover with foil and refrigerate for up to 1 day before baking. Freeze baked, for up to l month. Defrost in the refrigerator; reheat for 1-1 1/4 hour
