Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup 2% cottage cheese or ricotta
1 cup mozzarella cheese I use mozzarella
28 oz crushed tomatoes Do not use full or diced tomatoes–they have too much liquid in them. For instructions on using jarred pasta sauce, please read the post.
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp thyme
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic
6 whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 lbs ground turkey
3 cups spinach fresh

Directions:
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix together the cottage cheese and ⅔ cup mozzarella cheese.
Skip this step if using jarred sauce. In a separate bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes, oregano, thyme, parsley, onion powder and garlic together.
Add half of the sauce to the bottom of a 7 inch springform pan. Break your noodles into pieces that will cover the sauce in a single layer. Top with half of the cheese mixture, half the ground turkey, and half of the spinach, repeat. Finally, top your lasagna with the remaining ⅓ cup of mozzarella cheese, then cover your pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot insert and pour 1 cup of water in the bottom.
Place the lasagna on top of the trivet and close and lock the lid. Turn your pressure valve to sealing. Select Pressure Cook (high) and set the cook time for 20 minutes.
Once the cooking time is complete, allow pressure to naturally release. If after 20 minutes, the pressure has not completely released, turn the handle to quick release. Once the pressure valve drops, remove the lid and carefully remove your lasagna.
This step isn’t necessary, but it only takes a couple of extra minutes and really does make the lasagna look and taste better. Remove the foil cover from the lasagna and place the pan under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese. Top with fresh basil if desired and serve.

Personal Notes:

21 Day Fix/Ultimate Portion Fix: These counts are based on using 6 lasagna noodles for the entire recipe: 6 Red Containers, 6 Yellow Containers, 6 Green Containers, 3 Blue Containers. A serving is ⅙ of the lasagna. Per serving: 1 Red Container, 1 Yellow Container, 1 Green Container, ˝ Blue Container.
