White Sauce Preparation: On the stove top, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion until almost opaque and add the garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in the flour and simmer until bubbly. Mix in the chicken broth and milk, bring to boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/8 cup Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt and ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Mix together the cheese ingredients.

Lasagna Preparation:

Mix together the ground turkey, spinach and parsley.

Spray a 9” x 13” baking dish with non stick spray. Spread 1/4 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with 3 noodles, 1/2 the ricotta, 1/2 the turkey, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 of white sauce. Top with 3 noodles and layer again in the same order. Top with remaining 3 noodles, and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Bake 30 in the preheated oven. Remove the aluminum foil and bake another 10-15 minutes or until cheese bubbles and begins to brown.

Let sit 10 minutes prior to cutting.
