• Spread 1 ½ cups of marinara sauce in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Add a layer of lasagna noodles. Scoop half of the turkey-veggie sauce on top of the noodles and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle ½ cup cheese on top of the sauce. Make a second layer with the noodles, turkey-veggie sauce, and ½ cup cheese.
• Place a final layer of lasagna noodles on top then spread the remaining 1 ½ cups marinara sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese over the top evenly.
• Cover baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and broil the top of the lasagna until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Allow to cool for 20 minutes then slice into portions and serve.
