Ingredients for 8 rolls:
- 8 brown rice lasagna sheets (or whole wheat)
- Marinara
- 1.25 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 15 oz unsalted tomato sauce
- 2 chopped Roma tomatoes
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 3/4 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)
- 2 tablespoons oregano
- 1/2 tablespoon red pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic (paste or minced)
- Creamy spinach sauce
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1.25 cup chopped spinach
- 1/3 cup chopped basil
- 2/3 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella
- fresh chopped parsley
- coconut oil spray
Steps:
- Set oven to 375F.
- Boil whole wheat or brown rice lasagna sheets according to the instructions given on the package. **Be very careful not to overcook them. You want them to be soft, yet firm so they will hold once you roll them.** When they are finished cooking, rinse them under cold water and place them on parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the creamy spinach sauce and set aside in the refrigerator.
- Spray a skillet with coconut oil and set on medium high heat. Sauté red onions and mushrooms with garlic. Cook until the onion has browned and turned clear.
- Add the lean ground turkey and cook. Chop the turkey with a wooden spatula as it cooks in order to break it up and make it as fine as possible.
- Add the seasonings, oregano and red pepper, and stir and chop.
- When the turkey is about 90% cooked, pour in the tomato sauce and chopped tomatoes. Continue stirring until the meat is completely cooked. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
- Evenly spread about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the creamy spinach mixture on one of the lasagna sheets. Then, add about 2 – 3 tablespoons of the marinara. Roll it up and place it in a baking dish.
- Pour the remaining marinara over the lasagna rolls, then sprinkle the mozzarella on top.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil, then bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
