Healthy Harvest Turkey Lasagna and Baked French Bread

Dinner Tonight: Healthy Harvest Turkey Lasagna and Baked French Bread





Well why not make my favorite Breakfast for this last Breakfast of 2017! I prepared some Simply

Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Heated up some Meijer Diced Ham, fried an Egg Sunnyside Up, made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hashbrowns in a bowl and sprinkled them with Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns then placed the Sunnyside Up Egg on it it top of off. One of my favorite Breakfasts! Went out to get the Morning Papers and it is down right COLD! 1 degree and with the light wind it was below zero! Grabbed the Papers and got back inside as quick as I could. We seen a couple of rays of sunshine later in the day but only had a high of 17 degrees. So with nothing going on outside I stayed in and did a load of laundry. I then cleaned the Kitchen and cleaned the oven. For Dinner tonight Healthy Harvest Turkey Lasagna and Baked French Bread.




As usual I’m using Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, which I had in the freezer so I sat it

in the fridge to thaw overnight. I use the recipe that’s on back of the Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Lasagna Box as a guide. Making  changes to some of the ingredients to reduce calories and carbs. I used the following; 1lb Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, 3 cups (26 oz jar) Ragu Pasta Sauce, Sliced Mushrooms (optional), 1/2 cup Water, 1 3/4 cups (15 oz container) Kroger Part Skim Milk Ricotta Cheese, 2 cups (8 oz) or more Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (divided), 1/2 cup grated Kraft Parmesan Cheese, 1/2 cup chopped fresh Parsley, 1/2 tsp Sea Salt, 1/4 tsp ground Black Pepper, and 6 pieces Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Lasagna, uncooked. Cutting calories and carbs by using Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast and the Kroger Part Skim Milk Ricotta Cheese, Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta, and Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Cheese.




Then to prepare it, Heat oven to 350°F. In a skillet, over medium-high heat, brown Turkey; season to

taste and drain of excess fat, very little fat to drain. Add the Pasta Sauce and Water; simmer about 10 minutes. Pour about 1 cup Sauce on bottom of a 13×9 foil pan. Arrange 3 UNCOOKED pasta pieces lengthwise over sauce; cover with 1 cup sauce. Spread one-half Ricotta Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese over Sauce. Repeat layers of RONZONI HEALTHY HARVEST LASAGNA, Sauce and Ricotta Cheese, Mozzarella. Top with layer of RONZONI HEALTHY HARVEST LASAGNA and remaining Sauce; sprinkle with Mozzarella Cheese. Cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove foil; bake additional 10 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.




The Lasagna comes out perfect, love this recipe! Everything tasted so fresh and as usual the Jennie - O Turkey was the star bringing everything together to make one delicious dish! Plenty of leftovers for another meal or to freeze for later use. I’ve frozen this several times and it always comes out great after reheating. I left the original recipe at the bottom of the post. With just a few changes I saved on calories, carbs, and fat grams. The original recipe is at the end of the post. I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread. I really don’t need Bread to go with Lasagna but Mom and Dad wanted some though. For Dessert later a Dole No Sugar Added Diced Peach Cup.
