I love this recipe. I make it with leftover roasted turkey and it is delicious!

I thought this recipe was alright, but nothing to write home about. My husband loved it; I thought it was just okay - not up to CookingLight's usual standard. I think it might be better if it had turkey sausage in it instead of deli turkey (which I found a little odd).

I love this recipe! I have never liked lasagna, but my boyfriend loves it so I thought I would try this, since we are trying to be healthier. We made this together tonight, and just love it. The only thing I did different was add 3/4 cup celery. I will definatly be making this again. Thanks for sharing.

This was really good! It didn't taste low fat at all. I forgot to include the bell pepper and I used low-fat cottage cheese instead of non-fat but otherwise made it just as directed. It was a hit and I will definitely make it again!

I loved the recipe, but did anyone else notice that the picture is not of this lasagna? No spinach and where did all those mushrooms come from?

My husband said "If this is healthy, don't tell me because it tastes like it's not". I used ground turkey, as well. Definitely a keeper!
