Traditional lasagna in it's fatty, high carbohydrate state has been more like a "cheat meal" favorite for years! But what if by substituting the bad ingredients and replacing them with healthy ingredients, you could actually enjoy this recipes as apart of your CLEAN EATING meal plan?
Be ready to fall in love.

What You Will Need:
- 2 lbs. lean ground turkey (93% and higher is preferred!)
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup of cottage cheese (2%)
- 3 egg whites
- 1 jar of organic tomato sauce (I used a basil herb sauce)
- 1 cup of mushrooms, chopped
- 2 bell peppers, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
- pink Himalayan sea salt
- pepper
- Mozzarella cheese (optional)
To Make:
1. Set your oven to 375F
2. Slice your sweet potatoes into THIN slices so once they're cooked they become soft. If you have a mandolin, i've found this is the easiest and quickest way to get your slices thin and even.
3. Chop up your mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion. Set aside.
4. Mix your cottage cheese with the egg whites and set aside.
5. Saute onion with your minced garlic, then add the ground turkey once your onion becomes transparent. Add tomato sauce, mushrooms, bell peppers, and italian seasoning. Set aside.
6. Start building your lasagna! First spray your dish with non-stick spray. Then start layering your sweet potatoes, meat sauce, cottage cheese, and repeat!
7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes or until your sweet potatoes are soft.
Note: The thicker your slices are, the longer the lasagna will take to cook. Be sure to take a tooth pick and stab the center of the lasagna to make sure the sweet potatoes are soft before turning the oven off. I've had to cook mine up to an hour.
