    Sooo good! And you feel good because it's turkey- but after this- who needs beef? If you're considering it I would definitely say it's worth a try!

    This had good flavor. But I found it to be too dry. I would use at least 2 to 2/12 cups of sauce instead of 1 1/2 cups. I will use this recipe again, just sauce it up a lil' more ;

    This healthy lasagna is a real winner in all respects - and everyone loves it. Followed some of the reviewers tips (replaced sausage w/shrooms, added carrots, used fresh spinach and here's the scoop: this recipe is totally flexible to your faves and edits, but is simply delicious as written. Try it - Everyone will like it!

    This was the first attempt for lasagna ( I'm 25yrs. old and it was not too shabby. I love how it was meant for turkey lovers and was just fantastic in flavor. I didn't use mozerella b/c I didn't have any but used a bit of swiss for the top only and it still was delectable!

    So I fattened it up. Used regular noodles and sausage. The turkey haters will not even be able to tell its turkey. I make this recipe all the time and I once used a whole can of spinach and it was the worst mistake I have ever made to a recipe. It was too much spinach and tasted funny...ruined the whole thing. But I usually make it with a whole bag of spinach and it wilts down nicely and tastes wonderful! Everyone who is trying to eat healthier should try this recipe...you cant even tell the difference!

    Turned out great. I am/was the world's worst lasagna baker. Most attempts prior to this ended up on the trash. We ate it for every meal for two days and NEVER got tired or bored. I used fresh spinach leaves, (one full salad bag and it was great. Will continue to use fresh over the frozen shared with my co worker at lunch and she loved it. Can't wait to make it again.

    Excellent recipe to work off of. I substituted shrooms, in place of the turkey sausage, and scaled the whole thing down a bit. Worked out great. My first lasagna, couldn't be easier.

    This is by far the best tasting lasagna that I have ever made! All the ingredients just work beautifully together. I made some substitutions to make the recipe even ealthier. First, instead of hot Italian sausage, I used 2 lbs. of ground turkey breast, which undoubtedly cut some of the fat, but also did away w/ the preservatives in pre-made sausage. To get the same flavors, I increased the red pepper flakes, added a little kosher salt, increased the essence, and then added 1 1/2 tsp. of Italian seasoning and 1 tsp. of fennel seeds-worked perfectly. Also, in addition to the red bell pepper, I snuck in 2 carrots finely diced and used red onion instead of white or yellow. I also didn't have jarred marinara sause, so I used a 28 oz can of organic fire roasted tomatoes and a small can of no salt added organic tomato sauce. Again, worked perfectly. As for the cheese filling, I used the lowest fat options that I could find and increased the spinach a little (3 cups. I also only used about 3/4 cup of mozzerella on the top (just enough to lightly cover the lasagna b/c I was worried about the amount of cheese already used for the filling. Used uber-healthy Vita Spelt whole grain noodles, and let me tell you, this recipe topped any ground beef and regular noodle lasagna that I have made in the past. Also, don't forget the fresh basil, it really adds to the flavor. 1 2 inch by 2 inch serving is VERY filling-this could easily feed an army! It's a fair amount of prep work, but you get a lot of food for the effort.

    This is by far the best lasagna I have ever made or even eaten. I made it without the sausage and it was still great. The spinach is what really makes it good! Since I had a lot of leftovers, I cut it into one serving portions and froze it. It is just as good this from the freezer as it is from the oven. :-
