  • 1/3 cup Egg substitute
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 lasagna Noodles -- cooked and drained

Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg substitute, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.
  4. 4
    Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

    Starting from the short end, tightly roll the noodle up into a pinwheel. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.
  7. 7
