Easy To Make Ground Turkey Lasagna Recipe

Turkey Lasagna Recipe The best turkey lasagna from my personal notes featuring easy to find ingredients. Packed with so many delicious layers including a few home grown herbs.

Spaghetti Sauce 1/4 cup of fresh parsley 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 8 oz. ready to bake lasagna noodles 15 oz. ricotta cheese 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 eggs 2 cups mozzarella, shredded How to Cook the Ground Turkey ground turkey saute mix Add Turkey Pepperoni It’s hard to believe when you bite into this filling and super moist dish that ground turkey is involved. Over the years I have started to prefer poultry in this dish rather than beef. Not only is the meat mild it is also low in fat. The secret is adding fresh vegetables to the sauté while preparing the meat. Letting the flavors marry together by frying up with a table spoon of oil. As the skillet starts to soak up all the moisture add a dash or two of water or vegetable broth to bring the extra flavors together. Be sure to scroll down for exact directions below.

Keep the vegetables to one side until all the ground turkey has turned from pink to light brown. Once the turkey is all brown and not pink mix the vegetables together around in the skillet.

In a 9×9 dish this is usually about 1/2 cup of sauce.= Slowly add spaghetti or marinara sauce to the skillet mix. Cook for about 10 minutes bringing to slow simmer.
