In the Kitchen | Turkey Lasagna

 [english]

Apparently most people gain weight during their time at uni. Common or not, it happened to me - read more about it here. That’s why I’ve been investing in a healthier lifestyle for the past few months, and that included buying a book that explains how to do that simply, with a lot of recipes and tips. I want to share some of my experiences with you, and the other day I tried the turkey lasagne. Curious?

You’ll need: 

1 Cabbage

1 onion

400g of tomato pulp

300g of turkey breast mince

 Salt

Parsley

1 tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese

200g of fresh cheese in little cubes

Note: I don’t use parsley because I’m not a fan. I also didn’t use any cheese.

The recipe mentions sliced cooked turkey, but I bought turkey mince and cooked it first.

How to do it:

Boil all the cabbage in water and salt.

Cut the onion in little pieces and cook with a little water, add the tomato pulp and let it cook for a little while. Add salt and parsley.

Get a tray suitable for oven cooking and start layering the contents – first the cabbage, then the turkey, followed by the fresh cheese and the tomato sauce, until you fill the container or until you ran out of the stuff.

Put a bit of Parmesan cheese on top and take to the oven to gratin (180ºC).

Simple, healthy and yummi! Let me know if you try it :)

Como já tinha dito neste post, a universidade não fez grandes coisas pela minha forma física. Nos últimos meses tenho me empenhado para dar a volta à situação, e por causa disso comprei o livro ‘A Dieta Simples’, da nutricionista Iara Rodrigues. No outro dia experimentei esta lasanha de peru, e deixo-vos aqui a receita e umas fotos do resultado. 

Vão experimentar?

 Umas notinhas: Não usei queijo, porque em Inglaterra não consigo encontrar queijo fresco. Em vez de peito de peru fatiado, comprei peito de peru picado e cozi-o um bocadinho. Também não usei salsa porque não gosto!

Beijinhos,
Mariana
