Noodless Lasagna

I posted this on the Clean Eating Club thread, but I thought I'd share it here too!

I will post the original recipe first, then I'll list my changes.

This is from "Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly - Healthy, Low-Fat Recipes for Your Slow Cooker"

Makes 4 servings, Ideal slow-cooker size: 4- or 5-quart

1.5 lb fat-free ground turkey
1.5 cups meat-free, low-sodium spaghetti sauce
8 oz. sliced mushrooms
1.5 cups fat-free ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 c. grated mozzarella cheese (part skim), divided
1.5 tsp. Italian seasoning
10 slices turkey pepperoni

1. Brown ground turkey in a nonstick skillet.
2. Add spaghetti sauce and mushrooms and mix with meat.
3. Pour half of turkey mixture into slow cooked sprayed with nonfat cooking spray.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/4 cup of mozzarella, and the Italian seasoning. Beat well with a fork.
5. Lay half of the pepperoni slices on top of turkey mixture.
6. Spread half of cheese mixture over pepperoni.
7. Repeat layers, finishing by sprinkling the remaining mozzarella on top.
8. Cover. Cook on low 4-4.5 hours.

My changes:
I use 93/7 ground turkey rather than FF turkey breast, a can of tomato sauce in place of the spaghetti sauce (so I know there are no additives), and lowfat cottage cheese in place of the ricotta (mostly due to cottage cheese being cheaper). I have used egg substitue in place of the egg, but I think it might set up better using a real egg. I use shredded reduced fat mozzarella - not sure what grated mozzarella is (I guess like grated parm?). I usually leave out the pepperoni, but I've made it both ways. Depending on the cottage cheese brand, if yours is somewhat liquidy, you might want to drain some of it off. I've made this both in the slow cooker, and I've baked it in the oven, too.

Feel free to add any veggies you might like to the sauce - onion, green pepper, etc. I use this over WW pasta and it is excellent! A lot of good protein, low in fat, and clean!!
