Lasagna - full of flavor taste and texture

You can get a free copy of our book "The Scratch" by sending an email to rickjhenderson@hotmail.com I won't share your email with anybody.

This Lasagna is flavorful, tasty and the kids end up eating a lot of vegetables.
We like this recipe because it gives us a low fat, low sodium meal that is full of vegetables. The ingredients are very simple but the taste is powerful.

My ingredients are:
Olive oil
Red and yellow peppers
Celery
Garlic
Tomato
Onion
Oregano
1 pound of ground turkey
Grated Cheese
Whole wheat flour
2 eggs

First step is to cook the ground chicken in a non-stick skillet with a fat free spray. while the turkey is cooking begin making the pasta by breaking the eggs adding some olive oil and then the flour mix and knead.

While the dough is resting roughly chop 1/4 of each pepper and a cup of celery, place in a bowl. Cut up two tomatoes and place in a blender with two garlic cloves, onion and oregano. Turn the blender on and add olive oil. Blend until smooth and pour into bowl with chopped veggies and mix.

Begin heating a pot of water to cook the pasta noodle in.  roll the pasta dough into thin strips and place in boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove and oil so it won't stick.

Chop the cooled cooked ground turkey.

Place 1/3 third of the vegetable sauce oon the bottoom of the pan, then a layer of ground turkey, then a layer of shredded cheese, followed by a layer of pasta noodle. Add dollups of home made Greek style yogurt cheese.

Repeat and finally add shredded cheese to cover the top and bake at 350 for one hour.
