     Sounds wonderful. I do though wish people would quit rating by 'sounds like' and wait til they taste so I know what they think it 'tastes like' instead, lol. - 11/3/09

     This was DELICIOUS! By far one of the best things I've had on here. The sauce was really good and the whole thing was very quick to make. I was skeptical about not boiling the noodles since they weren't the no bake kind but it worked perfectly! I really can't say enough about this delicious recipe! - 6/23/10

     I am SO impressed! I added some zucchini, mushrooms and used whole wheat noodles. My husband, who is beyond picky, loved it! - 11/17/12

     This was better than any restaurant lasagna I have ever had. The spices mixed with the ground turkey and made it taste like sausage...minus all the calories. Don't forget to cover the lasagna with foil as this is important to get the pasta soft. We loved this and it's a keeper! - 9/18/12

     Wonderful! Just ate it! However, next time I think I will add mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach to it. Always look forward to adding more veggies! - 2/24/10

     I would not change a thing about this recipe except to double the sauce. My picky hubby LOVED it! - 4/12/10

     My boyfriend and I made this last night, exactly per the directions (except that I added baby spinach leaves) and it came out awesome!!! I can't wait to eat the leftovers! - 11/5/09

     excellent, tasty. I didn't have any lasagna noodles, so I used large shells, so for assembly I stuffed the shells with the cheese mixture, covered it with the tomato sauce mixture and baked it, for the last 10 minutes I put the mozz cheese on top and melted it. - 11/18/12

  • BEAKIEBEAN
     Really good! I sauteed some spinach and red pepper and stirred it into the cheese mixture. I also added a small can of tomato sauce and forgot to add the brown sugar. Certainly doesn't taste like slimmed down lasagna! :-) - 5/2/12

     YUM - Better than my old "non-healthy" recipe! I made only 2 changes. I used SPLENDA brown sugar and whole wheat lasagna noodles. This is so so good - I'm serving it to company! - 8/29/10

     I made this last week & added some eggplant & mushrooms. I was nervous about not cooking the noodles first, but it turned out great. I used low sodium canned tomatoes and less of parmesan & mozarella cheeses and my sodium levels were around 350 a serving.. not bad at all and still tasted great - 8/10/10

     LOVED this! Turned out so well, I was skeptical about putting the noodles in without cooking them, but this came out beautifully! - 5/14/10
