Polenta Lasagna

I adapted this recipe from The Eat-Clean Diet website. My husband raved about it, which means it was pretty darn good. I served my lasagna with garlic bread and a fresh spinach and lettuce salad. My major recommendation is to let this sit a while before serving. It came out a tiny bit watery. But the flavor was so good that it pretty much made the initial bit of extra liquid in the dish null and void. Enjoy.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. lean ground turkey (or beef)

• 3/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese
• Jar of your favorite clean, preferably homemade pasta sauce
• 1 bag reduced fat mozzarella cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried pizza seasoning

Instructions

• Cook the ground turkey and onion until no longer pink. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Layer into a baking pan in this order:
• Pasta sauce
• Polenta
• Smear greek yogurt onto the polenta rounds
• Parmesan cheese

• Spinach/kale
