Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms diced small
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced small
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon basil fresh, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oregano fresh, minced
  • 2 tomatoes large, diced into medium chunks
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce can, no sugar added (unseasoned)
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese low-fat
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese low-fat
  • 3 tablespoons parsley fresh, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 sweet potatoes large, thinly sliced into circles
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese low-fat, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray pans with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In a large saute pan, cook turkey sausage on medium heat. Break sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Once no pink remains in the sausage, add mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Continue to cook until mushrooms and onions are soft. Add the basil, oregano, tomato, and tomato sauce. Stir to combine and bring mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes and remove from heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together egg whites, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, parsley, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sausage sauce into the bottom of each serving dish. On top, place a layer of sweet potato, slightly overlapping each slice - about 4 slices per layer. Top with about 1/4 cup of the sauce followed by another layer of potato. Top with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture and another layer of sweet potato. Repeat the layers (sauce, potato, cheese, and potato) until the casserole is about 1/4 inch from the top of the pan. Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella.
  • Bake 30 to 45 minutes until potatoes are soft and mozzarella cheese is melted and lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool completely. Once cool, cover well and refrigerate or freeze.
  • To reheat, lightly spray foil and cover lasagna with foil, sprayed side down. Bake 20 to 30 minutes until lasagna is heated through.

  1. I’m not a fan of sweet potatoes, could I possibly switch out zuchini for the sweet potatoes? Would there be any difference in the cooking time or should I do anything differently?

    1. Michelle, That should be fine. I recommend coarsely chopping the zucchini before adding to the mix. 🙂
