Turkey & Spinach Lasagna

Step 1

Let's kick things off with the turkey tomato sauce. Place a large pot over medium heat. Add in 2 tbs of olive oil and followed by the ground turkey. Using a spoon break apart the turkey meat and cook until browned. Once browned, drop in the diced onion and minced garlic. Stir to combine and saute for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Into the pot add in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and the water. Stir together and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Now add in the thyme, basil, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, parmesan, and spinach. Stir everything together and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Boom, sauce is ready.

Step 3

Preheat oven 375F

Step 4

Next up let's move onto the ricotta mixture. In a bowl mix together ricotta, egg, black pepper, and parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Grab your 9X9 inch pan and let's start building this bad boy. Start with 1 1/2 cups of sauce into the bottom of the pan. Next up layer on oven ready noodles. You may need to bream off an inch or two of the noodles so they fit in this size pan. Next up smear on 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, followed by the sauce, followed by the noodles. Repeat the layers until pan is full. Last step is to cover top of lasagna with mozzarella cheese. Cover lasagna with tin foil and then place in the oven for 55 minutes.

Step 6

After 55 minutes of baking, remove from oven, remove tin foil, and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until cheese is browned and crispy.

Step 7

Remove lasagna from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!!!
