Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that is loved by many. This low-fat version of the dish uses a slow cooker to make a delicious, healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The recipe is simple and requires just a few ingredients. The lasagna is made with a combination of ground turkey, low-fat cheese, and whole-wheat lasagna noodles. The result is a delicious, hearty dish that is sure to please even the pickiest eaters.

Prep Time

This recipe takes about 15 minutes of prep time. You will need to brown the turkey and assemble the ingredients in the slow cooker. You can also prepare the ingredients the night before and store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the lasagna.

Cook Time

Once the lasagna is assembled in the slow cooker, it will take approximately 6-8 hours to cook on low heat. Alternatively, you can cook it on high heat for 4-5 hours. You will know that the lasagna is done when the cheese is melted and the noodles are cooked through.
