Fun healthy take on Lasagna

Kids get bored of the same old layered lasagna, afraid of what parents may be trying to sneak inside : ) Here is a healthy recipe that is so easy to make and kids can be included to do the assembling. The great thing about many of my blog recipes is that they are versatile. Be creative- try different cheeses, make it vegetarian by omitting the turkey and adding in chopped, cooked spinach....
