Ground Turkey Lasagna

---

A recipe from before i became kosher. I decided to make a lasagna using only ingredients that i could find at my local trader joe's (trader joe's has terrific fresh, no-boil lasagna noodles for an affordable price in their refrigerator section). i reduced the fat by using ground turkey, low fat milk, and part-skim mozzarella, and leaving out the egg that is usually added to the ricotta mixture. The result is a tasty, easy to make lasagna with tender meat and just the right amount of moisture.
