Ingredients
For Sausage
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For Lasagna
- 24 ounces marinara sauce jar, no sugar added
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion small, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup mushrooms diced small
- 6 cups broccoli rabe chopped, stems removed
- 2 cups baby spinach finely chopped
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese low-fat, grated
- 1 cup cottage cheese low-fat
- 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese part-skim, shredded
- 1 pound whole-wheat lasagna noodles cooked
Instructions
For Sausage
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Form into a ball and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or a minimum of 4 hours.
For Lasagna
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch casserole pan with non-stick spray.
- Remove mixed turkey sausage and cook in a medium skillet until no pink remains. Add the marinara and heat through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms to the hot oil and cook until onions and mushrooms are soft. Combine the broccoli rabe and spinach and add to the onions. Cook until wilted. Remove from heat and drain out any excess liquid. Set aside.
- Combine egg, cottage cheese, Parmesan, and 1 cup mozzarella. Mix well. Add broccoli rabe mix to the cheese and fold in until distributed throughout.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara and turkey sausage mix on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Lay three to four noodles on top of the sauce, to cover the sauce with as much noodle as possible. Top noodles with 1/2 cup cheese and broccoli rabe mix, followed by more noodles and top with the marinara. Continue until no ingredients remain. Top with remaining mozzarella.
- Cover with foil lightly sprayed with nonstick spray and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Allow to set for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
