DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook lasagna noodles as label directs. Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until almost all liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic, basil and oregano, and cook 1 minute. Gradually add kale and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until wilted, covering between additions and stirring frequently. Transfer to large bowl; fold in chopped turkey. (Makes about 10 cups.)
• Meanwhile, in blender, combine tomato puree, water, sun-dried tomatoes, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. (Makes 7 cups.) In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta, chèvre and egg whites. (Makes 2 1/2 cups.)
• To assemble, spray 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In bottom of prepared dish, spread 1 cup tomato mixture. Top with 3 noodles, 1/3 turkey mixture (about 3 1/3 cups), 1 2/3 cups tomato mixture, 1/3 cheese mixture (about 3/4 cup) and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers 2 more times; top with remaining 3 lasagna noodles and 1 cup tomato mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
