Turkey Lasagna – Only 6 Points!

Here is my twist on my daughter’s favorite dish, Lasagna! By making changes to some of the higher calorie ingredients, I was able to successfully “Millie Vanilli” my family with this 6 pt dinner option. Remember to eat a light lunch if you’re planning to chow down on this hearty meal for dinner!

Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey breast
Cooking spray
1/2 cup water
1 (26-ounce) bottle fat free pasta sauce
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
2 cups 1% low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
9 cooked Whole grain lasagna noodles

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Cook the turkey in a large saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble. (season your meat) Add water and pasta sauce; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Combine 2 cups mozzarella, cottage cheese, and next 4 ingredients (cottage cheese through pepper) in a bowl.  Add a dash of salt.
4. Spread 1 cup turkey mixture in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Arrange 3 noodles over turkey mixture; top with 1 1/2 cups turkey mixture. Spread half of cheese mixture over turkey mixture. Repeat layers, ending with the remaining turkey mixture.
5. Cover and bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Let lasagna stand 10 minutes before serving.
