Lasagna Time!

Working from home has its perks. I used my lunch break as an opportunity to make Crock Pot Lasagna for the next few days. The recipe I used is Weight Watchers recipe and is 7 points a serving. You have to brown the ground turkey first and mix it with onions and spices.

Then you create a cheese mixture...

After that you layer in the crockpot with no-bake noodles and let it cook on low for 4-5 hours. Here is the recipe.

Makes 8 servings, 7 points each.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 lb fat free mozerella
  • 12 oz fat free cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 8 oz no-bake lasagna noodles
  • 30 oz tomato sauce
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 green pepper, chopped
  • Instructions

    In a frying pan, brown turkey with onion and garlic. Add spices and tomato sauce and paste, stirring over medium heat until warm all the way through. Mix cheeses in seperate container. Layer 1/3 meat sauce, 1/3 noodles, 1/3 cheese, and 1/3 vegetables in crockpot. Repeat 2 more times until all ingredients have been used. Cook on low 4-5 hours.

    I think you could substitute chicken or beef here for the meat. I also would like to try a veggie version with lots of vegetables!

    Let me know what you think! I am off to rock out with Fergilicious :) I hope they play some of their old songs!!
