You’ve just got to love Lasagna! Well, I do, and my secret ingredient for this Lasagna Recipe is to add MILK into the bolognese. It’s great for making the sauce really creamy, and it really enhances the flavour.

And if you have any leftover, you can whip up a Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe the next day in minutes.

Enjoy,

Turkey and Spinach Lasagna RecipeLasagne is a great, wholesome dinner that 9/10 times leaves you feeling pretty satisfied afterwards. However, it can also be pretty unhealthy as a consequence.

Even if we were to switch to the extra lean variety of beef mince, this still has about 4.5g of fat per 100g, about half of which is likely to be saturated. So my suggestion: switch to turkey mince!

You’ll want to chose the Turkey breast mince as it is sometimes available in thigh mince version also (which is slightly higher in fat).  The rules are then simple, just add the turkey when you would have added the beef and cook as normal, you’ll also be surprised at how turkey mince doesn’t dry out half as much.

So, if you’re looking for a lasagne recipe try our FitBrits Turkey and Spinach Lasagne recipe and if you feel like experimenting even further, why not try this Chilli con Carne recipe which also works great with ground turkey.

This is a real treat.  A great healthier alternative for a lasagne, and it’s now available with a cook-a-long recipe podcast.  View the recipe here.

We used turkey mince for this which is great because its very low in fat and cheaper and minced beef.
