Easy Low Fat Lasagna

Hello Fellow Foodies! This recipe comes at the request of a fan (well actually quite a few).  Who doesn't love a good lasagna? But sometimes the guilt gets in the way.  So I decided to make a lowfat (and in my case gluten free) version of one of our favorites.  I made this for my 7 year old and she cleaned the plate!  So give it a try and let me know what you think.

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. ground chicken or turkey
1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
1/2 cup water
1 package no boil lasagna noodles (I used rice noodles because I wanted to make this recipe gluten free)
1 egg white
1 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt (if you don't like yogurt use lowfat ricotta)
1 (2 if you like it cheesy) packs of shredded lowfat Or fat free mozzarella
1 tbsp Kosher salt
1 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Dried oregano, 1/4 tsp also for yogurt
1 tsp Dried parsley, 1/4 tsp also for yogurt
1 tsp Dried basil, 1/4 tsp also for yogurt
1/2 tsp Dried thyme
2 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce
2 tablespoons of sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brown meat thoroughly in a deep pan. Once browned, add your jar sauce, diced tomatoes and water. Turn flame down to low/medium heat and add seasonings, hot sauce and sugar. Taste and adjust as needed. Let sauce simmer for about 20 minutes.

In the meantime, put yogurt in a bowl with the egg white. Mix thoroughly. Add additional oregano, parsley and basil to mixture. Mix well and set aside.

Stir and remove sauce from heat. In a deep baking dish you will repeat the ingredients in the following layer order until at the top of your dish but finishing with sauce:

1. Complete layer of sauce (starting with bottom of dish)
2. Layer of noodles
3. Layer of yogurt mixture evenly spread over noodles
4. Layer of mozzarella cheese

Once layering is complete bake in oven for one hour or until noodles are cooked through and cheese is melted.

NOTE: IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS A ONE DISH MEAL, REPLACE ONE OF YOUR MEAT LAYERS WITH COOKED CHOPPED SPINACH THAT IS WELL DRAINED SO AS NOT TO ADD TOO MUCH LIQUID.
