MEXICAN LASAGNA LITE
This is a lower-fat version of a popular Tex-Mex style casserole. You can increase or decrease the number of tortillas used in order to fit your tray. I'm obviously using low- and no-fat ingredients which can be substituted successfully with full fat versions with great results. If needed, this can all be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated to store. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Brown ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water, bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer turkey mixture until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped green chilies and remove from heat.
- Spread a scant 2/3 cup enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of an 8x10-inch baking dish; top sauce with 4 tortillas, overlapping if necessary. Spread tortillas with half the sour cream, half the refried beans, half the turkey mixture, and 1/3 the cheese blend. Top with another 2/3 cup enchilada sauce and 4 more tortillas. Firmly press down on tortillas to compact the layers beneath.
- Repeat layers, spreading remaining sour cream, refried beans, turkey mixture, 1/3 the cheese blend and 2/3 cup enchilada sauce onto tortillas. Top with remaining 4 tortillas; press down as before. Finish layering casserole with remaining 2/3 cup enchilada sauce and remaining 1/3 the cheese blend.
- Bake casserole uncovered in the preheated oven until the cheese topping is melted and bubbling and casserole is hot, about 20 minutes.

MOM'S WHITE LASAGNA
My mom made this lasagna for special occasions, such as birthdays. When she passed, I inherited her cookbooks-tucked inside one of them, I found this recipe folded into a letter she wrote to me while I was stationed overseas. It's a hearty, rich dish that reminds me of home. -Janet Wing, Minot, North Dakota

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

- Stir in the cooked and rinsed turkey meat and allow to simmer until bubbling.
- Prepare a lasagna pan (14 by 9, I believe) by placing one layer of 5 lasagna noodles, a layer of sauce, a layer of cottage cheese and then a layer of cheddar cheese.
- Repeat for a second layer.
- Bake in the oven for one hour, removing during the last ten minutes to sprinkle more cheddar cheese on top.
- Serve with garlic bread and salad and enjoy!
LASAGNA LITE
This is my version of a light lasagna recipe found in Self magazine. It can be frozen in individual size portions for later use. To further reduce fat, the ground turkey breast can be cooked separately and then rinsed with water and pressed dry before adding to the sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the ground beef with salt and pepper and add to the pan once the oil is smoking. Brown the beef on one side, about 2 minutes, then break it up with a spoon. Add the basil and then the marinara sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it is slightly thicker, about 1 minute. Set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the milk to a small bowl and mix with the arrowroot. Add the remaining milk to a small saucepot and bring to a simmer over high heat. Add the arrowroot mixture and whisk until thickened, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat, add the nutmeg and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with oil. Spoon a little bit of Bolognese red sauce and a little bit of the white sauce on the bottom of the pan. Add a layer of the zucchini slices and grate the Parmigiano directly over the top to cover. Add a single layer, or 2 sheets of lasagna noodles - you can cut the noodles and use the trim if they don't fit perfectly. Repeat the layers until the dish is filled to the brim, making 10 layers. Sprinkle the top with any remaining Parmigiano. Place the pan in the oven and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let stand for at least 5 minutes and then cut and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Add the olive oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once warmed, add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Once the vegetables have caramelized, add the beef, pork, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Stir to combine, breaking up the pieces of meat, until the meat has browned, 15-20 minutes.
- Once the sauce is dark brown and starting to stick slightly to the bottom of the pan, add the red wine. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the cooked brown bits. Once the wine comes to a simmer, add the diced canned tomatoes, and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better!) stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, basil, Parmesan, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.
- In a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) glass baking dish, add a layer of bolognese to the bottom. Top with noodles, then spread a layer of the ricotta mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of bolognese, noodles, ricotta, noodles, bolognese, then top with mozzarella and additional Parmesan. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until the cheese on top has browned and the bolognese is bubbling. Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Lay down about 6 feet (1.8 meters) of tinfoil on a flat surface. Place place 4 clusters of 2 lasagna noodles towards the left half of the foil sheet, leaving about a ½-inch (1 cm) gap in between each cluster.
- Fold the right half of foil over the noodles, pressing flat. To help you see where the noodles are, run your finger along the edges of the noodles to create a rough outline in the foil.
- Fold the top and bottom flaps of foil over, creasing and pressing flat.
- Flip the foil sheet onto the table so that it's now standing, then arrange into a square box, using the 4 groups of noodles as a visual guide. Fold and crease over any excess foil to join the ends together, then set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour, cooking until the mixture reaches a light golden color.
- Slowly drizzle in the milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until smooth. Mix in salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil.
- Transfer the béchamel to a large bowl and press plastic wrap onto the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a very large pot over high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook until the vegetables have started to sweat but aren't browning.
- Add in the ground beef and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat into small pieces.
- Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until half of the liquid has evaporated.
- Add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken stock, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine evenly and breaking up any last lumps.
- Turn down the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- To assemble, line a greased 9x9-inch (23x23-cm) square baking pan with 2 sheets of foil that extend over the sides.
- Spread a thin layer of béchamel on the lined baking pan and top with 2 lasagna noodles. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce evenly across the noodles, followed by a thin layer of béchamel. Repeat the layering process, following the order of: 2 noodles, meat sauce, and béchamel. Alternate the direction of the lasagna sheets after every layer.
- After 50 layers, place the foil box over the lasagna, helping it stay upright and stable.
- Continue with the layering process until the 99th layer.
- Sprinkle Parmesan on top, then cover the whole lasagna with foil.
- Bake for about 1½ hours, uncovering the foil halfway, until the top is a deep golden brown.
- Cool for at least 2 hours, then carefully lift out the lasagna with the foil sleeves onto a large cutting board.
- Peel away the foil walls, then sprinkle the top of the lasagna generously with chives.
- Cut and serve.
- Enjoy!
