LASAGNA ROLL UPS 
SAUCE:

1/2 lb. ground turkey
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (32 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning

FILLING:

8 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 c. lowfat part-skim ricotta or cottage cheese
1/2 c. shredded carrot
1 (9 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
2 egg whites or 1 egg
1/4 tsp. salt

TOPPING:

4 oz. (1 c.) shredded lowfat part skim mozzarella cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large skillet brown turkey and garlic; drain if necessary. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients; simmer about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles as directed on package. Drain, rinse with hot water.

Cover; bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
