Ingredients

3/4 lb gluten-free Italian seasoned ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 cans (15 oz each) Muir Glen™ organic no salt added tomato sauce
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons gluten-free Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 box (9 oz) frozen spinach, thawed, well drained
1 container (15 oz) part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
1 disposable plastic slow cooker liner
15 uncooked gluten-free lasagna noodles (12 oz)

Directions

1

In 10-inch skillet, cook turkey and onion over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink. Stir in garlic. Cook 1 minute; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, basil, Italian seasoning and salt; set aside.
2

In medium bowl, mix spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. (Refrigerate remaining mozzarella while lasagna cooks.)
3

Line 5-quart oval slow cooker with plastic slow cooker liner. Spoon 1 1/3 cups sauce mixture into bottom of slow cooker; spread evenly. Top with 5 lasagna noodles, breaking up as necessary to fit. Spread with half the cheese mixture; repeat once with sauce mixture, noodles and cheese mixture. Top with remaining 5 noodles and remaining sauce mixture, making sure to completely cover noodles with sauce.
4

Cover and cook on Low heat setting 4 hours. Turn slow cooker off. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese over top of sauce and noodles. Cover; let stand about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover; let stand 10 minutes longer to set. Gently lift lasagna out of slow cooker onto cutting board, using plastic liner. Cut into slices. Serve immediately.
