Crockpot Lasagna

Hello, comfort food! I would feel guilty if this wasn't such a healthy alternative to the traditional lasagna recipes. And an added bonus, after a long day at work dinner is already waiting for you!

Ingredients
1 lb. ground turkey breast
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove minced garlic
28 oz. crushed tomatoes
15 oz. tomato sauce
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese -OR- 2% cottage cheese (which is what I use because I always have it on hand)
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
6 pieces no-cook lasagna noodles
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Directions
Cook turkey, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Simmer 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine ricotta/cottage cheese and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.

Spoon 1/3 of turkey mixture into bottom of a 5-qt. slow cooker. Break 3 lasagna sheets in half and arrange over mixture. Top with half of cheese mixture. Repeat with another layer and finish with 1/3 of turkey mixture.

Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Remove cover, turn off heat.

Combine remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over top of lasagna. Cover and set aside until cheese melts and lasagna firms up, about 10 minutes.

Notes
A fresh salad sounded great with my lasagna, but if you want to up your veggie intake without serving a side dish simply add diced zucchini, mushrooms, and/or spinach to the sauce/turkey mixture.
