turkey lasagna rolls

recipe adapted from group recipes

8 oz ground turkey

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1 cup water

1 7.5 oz can diced tomatoes

1 6-oz can tomato paste

1 1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil (i used fresh because i had some)

8 packaged dried whole wheat lasagna noodles

1 egg, beaten

1 15-oz carton part-skim ricotta cheese

1 10-oz package frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and drained

1 1/2 cups shredded, part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

for the sauce, in a large skillet cook turkey, onion and garlic until turkey is brown; drain fat.

stir in mushrooms, water, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano and basil.  bring to boiling; reduce heat. cover and simmer for 25 minutes (the water is important.  i forgot to add it which made the sauce really thick).

• meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. drain noodles; rinse with cold water. drain again.
• for filling, in a mixing bowl stir together egg, ricotta cheese, spinach, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
• 
• spread about 1/2 cup of the filling on each lasagna noodle. starting from a narrow end, roll up each lasagna noodle.

place lasagna rolls in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. pour sauce over lasagna rolls. cover dish with foil.

(i doubled the recipe and definitely had too much)

• bake in a 375 degree F. oven for 25 minutes. remove foil. sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. bake for 5 to 10 minutes more or until heated through. let stand 5 minutes before serving. sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese and, if desired, garnish with parsley sprigs.
