Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 5 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, prepare the ricotta mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the turkey and tomato sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Spread a thin layer of the turkey sauce at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese, and 1/3 of the turkey sauce. Repeat this process for two more layers, finishing with a final layer of turkey sauce and mozzarella cheese on the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Turkey Spinach Lasagna!
