Lean Lasagna

Mike and I have been trying to eat healthier lately, and we have been following the Abs Diet Power rules. I love lasagna and I whipped this up the other day with 5 power foods. It was delicious and Max loved it too!

2 Tbsp of olive oil
1 white onion (finely chopped)
1 cup of baby chopped carrots
2 handfuls of chopped spinach
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 pkg of lean ground turkey
12 whole wheat lasagna noodles
2 big cans of diced tomatoes
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
3 tbsp of dry Ranch dressing mix
2-3 cups of mozzarella (depending on how much cheese you like)
1 large tub of fat-free cottage cheese
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Begin boiling water for pasta (I always add garlic salt to my water to help flavor pasta). Brown onion and carrots in large frying pan, add turkey and cook until brown. Add spinach and garlic, let them wilt then add tomatoes, ranch, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble 3 layers in medium baking dish. I like to do sauce, 3 pasta, cheeses, pasta, sauce, cheeses, pasta etc...

Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes covered, and 15 minutes uncovered at the end.

Enjoy:)
