Easy Turkey Lasagna

This dish is always a hit at my house.  Serve with a green salad and garlic bread.

Ingredients

• 1 lb of lean ground turkey (I like all brands besides Jennie-O... lacks in flavor to me)

• 23.5 oz of your favorite Italian sauce (I like Prego traditional)

• 2 tablespoon of dried parsley flakes

• 14.5 oz (1 can) of garlic, oregano, and basil diced tomatoes (I use the Del Monte brand)

• 15 oz of low fat ricotta cheese

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 16 oz of low fat Italian blend cheese (I like the one that has mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, asiago, fontina, and romano)

• 9-12 lasagna noodles (oven ready, no bake type)

• Salt, pepper, and onion powder to taste

Directions: (Preheat oven to 375 degrees)
1.  Brown ground turkey and season to taste using salt, pepper and onion powder
2.  Measure 1/2 cup of Italian sauce and set to the side
3.  Pour remaining sauce in with browned turkey and also add the can of diced tomatoes
4.  Simmer mixture on low heat for about 20-25 minutes
5.  Mix in a large bowl eggs, ricotta cheese, 8 oz. of Italian blend cheese, and parsley until mixture is creamy and smooth
6.  Take 13 x 9 rectangular casserole dish and spread 1/4 cup of Italian sauce evenly on the bottom of the dish (this helps to make the oven ready noodles tender and not crunchy when baking)
7.  Now it is time to layer:  noodles, meat sauce, cheese mixture; repeat
8.  Top off with noodles-- spread the remaining Italian sauce on top of noodles and top with remaining Italian blend cheese
9.  Bake for 30 to 40 minutes-- allow to rest for about 20-25 minutes after removing from oven
