Turkey Lasagna
Put those extra holiday leftovers to work and give new life to an old favorite with our healthy, hearty lasagna. Lean turkey and low-fat cheese cut the fat and calories usually found in the traditional dish while onion, oregano, and marinara keep it fun and flavorful. Whole-wheat noodles add another layer of cancer protection with their unique antioxidants, phenols and lignans.
