Crockpot Lasagne

This is such a great recipe if you are in the mood for italian and dont want to feel miserable because you have inhaled 4,000 calories in 30 mins.
This takes about 3-4 hours in the crockpot so its perfect for sunday or sat lunch.  Sometimes I get it ready right before I go pick the kids up from school and by the time that hubby gets home from work it is ready to eat!

1 lb of ground turkey
1 tsp sage
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
sprinkle of fennel if you have it

I mix all this together and then brown in up in a skillet.

1 small tub of skim ricotta
2 cups skim Fresh grated Mozzarella
Fresh chopped Basil ( I overload on this because I love so therefor I grow it and its always available to me)
1 tsp Dried Oregano
2 tsp of minced garlic ( I buy the organic jar of it)
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg

Mix all that up!

Lasagna Noodles ( I buy the organic ones that are made out of artichoke flour) 

I boil my noodles a little so they get soft but you can always just buy the oven ready ones.  I'm just really picky about my family's flour and where it comes from.  We don't eat flour that comes from wheat that is genetically modified.

2 jars of Pasta Sauce ( I love the Muir Glen Organic brand and always stock up when they go on sale)

So here's what you do.

Layer of Noodles
Layer of Meat
Layer of sauce
Layer of Cheese

Then repeat until you either have no more room or no more product.  Delicious!
