PREPARATION TIME
Ingredients
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1 cup ricotta cheese part skim
28 oz crushed tomatoes (NOT canned tomatoes–they have too much liquid in them) If you’d like to use jarred low-sugar sauce you can.
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp thyme
1 tbsp parsley
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic minced
6 whole wheat lasagna noodles I used uncooked (not oven ready), but you can use oven ready whole wheat if you have them.
1 lbs fat free ground turkey thawed and broken into small chunks
3 cups spinach fresh, not frozen

Recipe NotesYou can make your own foil sling to raise and lower your dish. Take a 20” piece of foil and fold into thirds lengthwise. Place your dish in the middle and use the ends as handles.
Spray your foil with cooking spray to prevent it from sticking to the cheese.
You can substitute ground beef for ground turkey, but you will need to refigure your ww points. If using ground beef, brown and drain your meat before layering in your lasagna.
You can substitute my homemade pasta sauce with bottled pasta sauce. Just omit the crushed tomatoes and spices. Be sure and check your label for a clean option.
Be sure and use fresh spinach, I find that frozen releases too much liquid when cooking.
TIP: Want to make lasagna right in the inner pot?Spray your pot with oil and add 1/2 cup water to the bottom of your inner pot.
Build your lasagna on top of the water. I’ve found that starting with the meat and then noodles is helpful to avoid the dreaded Instant Pot burn warning.
