Lasagna, o how we love lasagna. But if you are watching your weight, eating lasagna more that once in a week is a bad idea. That’s why I hopped on the challenge when one of my followers asked me for a healthy lasagna recipe. Sweet potato, is loaded with nutrients and is a perfect substitute for pasta. I also replaced ricotta cheese with cottage cheese, so good. I hope you enjoy this healthy recipe

Ingredients :

1-2 large sweet potato

1 -2 lbs of ground turkey

1 large can of tomato sauce

bunch of fresh parsley

bunch of fresh basil

1 yellow onion

1 small red bell pepper

1 small green bell pepper

2 cups of cottage cheese

1 egg

salt

black pepper

2 cups of chopped kale

italian seasoning

2 tbsp of minced garlic

2 cups of low fat mozzarella

First preheat your oven to 365 degrees.

Next begin to slice your sweet potatoes into thin uniform slices or use a mandolin slicer. Chop up all your onions,peppers and set aside.

In a bowl season the the ground turkey breast with salt, pepper, italian seasoning, garlic and onion pepper. In a pot heat up 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add in turkey breast, chopped onions, and peppers. Cook the mixture for about 5-8 minutes, turning frequently until brown. Add in tomato sauce, continue to simmer . Add in chopped kale, garlic, and a small bunch of chopped parsley. Continue to simmer on low for 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

In a bowl combine greek yogurt and egg, mix with a fork.

In a medium casserole, line the bottom of the casserole with a thin layer of meat sauce. Next layer the pan with the sweet potato, making sure to overlap each slice (as seen below).

Next add sauce using a large spoon to pour  it upon the sweet potato, using the back of the spoon to spread. Next add in the cottage cheese mixture. Next place basil leaves on top. Then sprinkle a light mozzarella cheese on top .

Repeat these steps for the next 2 layers. When you reach the last layer, cover with sauce and cheese. Cover pan with foil.

Bake for 45 minutes until sweet potato is done.  Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
