Cheri Liefeld's Adventures in the Kitchen features a healthier Slow Cooker Lasagna recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb Italian-seasoned ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 3 cans (14.5 oz each) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, undrained
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
  • 1 container (15 oz) reduced-fat ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 15 uncooked whole wheat lasagna noodles
Instructions:
  • In a 10-inch skillet, sauté the turkey and onion over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until the turkey is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid. Add tomatoes, spinach, basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet and mix well.
  • Combine 1 cup of mozzarella with ricotta and Parmesan cheeses in a medium bowl. Remember to keep the remaining mozzarella in the refrigerator while the lasagna bakes.
  • Layer the ingredients in the slow cooker as follows: Start with one-fourth of the turkey mixture, then add 5 pieces of broken noodles. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by another one-fourth of the turkey mixture. Add another layer of 5 noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, and one-fourth of the turkey mixture. Finish with the final layer of 5 noodles and the last of the turkey mixture.
  • Simmer gently with lid on for 4 to 6 hours until noodles are soft.
  • Finish the lasagna by generously topping it with the remaining 1 cup of rich and gooey mozzarella cheese. Allow it to rest, covered, for approximately 10 minutes until the cheese becomes irresistibly melted. Serve by cutting into delectable pieces.
