TURKEY, CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE LASAGNA FLORENTINE
Oh man! This recipe came from not having quite enough of one type of meat. So "improvise" is what I say! This is rich, creamy and good enough for company. I've tried to trim it down a bit by using low fat cheeses & 1% milk. There's still some calories but I promise you that you will love this!

Steps:
- 1. Fill large stock pot 3/4 full of cold water & add about 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and add lasagna noodles. Cook according to package directions until al dente.
- 2. In large skillet add olive oil and brown ground turkey and finely chopped chicken for 3-5 minutes.
- 3. Approximately halfway through browning (3-5 minutes) add the following seasonings: Garlic & Onion Powder, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, dried basil & oregano.
- 4. Add 1/2 stick butter and diced onion allow to saute until onion is partially cooked about 3 minutes then sprinkle all ingredients with flour and stir. Let the flour cook off for a few minutes it will have a paste like appearance and begin to slightly brown.
- 5. Now slowly wisk in milk while simmering gently. You may need a bit more but 1 cup is close. Simmering for a few minutes will thicken slightly then add parmesan cheese to thicken more. It should resemble slightly thicker jarred alfredo sauce.
- 6. Add minced garlic, drained & chopped artichokes & mushrooms to the meat & sauce mixture and simmer for a few minutes. Remove this from the heat and let cool while assembling the cheese filling.
- 7. In a large mixing bowl scramble 2 eggs then add and combine the remaining ingredients for the cheese filling. *be sure you squeeze the moisture out of the thawed spinach
- 8. For the assembly spray a large 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread a few tablespoons of the meat & sauce mixture across the bottom to prevent the noodles from sticking.
- 9. Layer 3 noodles, 1/3 meat & sauce mixture, 1/2 cheese filling, 6 provelone cheese slices then noodles, 1/3 meat, remaining 1/2 cheese filling & 6 more provelone cheese slices last layer will be meat & sauce topped with shredded cheeses of your choice **I tried Garlic Parsley, Cheddar & Parmesean Cheeses this time and it was so good!
- 10. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes removing foil the last 10 minutes to melt cheese well. Remove from oven & let stand for 10-15 minutes to set. Serve with mixed greens & garlic bread.
Tips:
- Use fresh artichokes if possible. Fresh artichokes have a more vibrant flavor and better texture than canned or frozen artichokes.
- Trim the artichokes properly. To trim artichokes, cut off the stem and the top third of the artichoke. Then, use a sharp knife to peel away the tough outer leaves. Finally, scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center of the artichoke.
- Cook the artichokes thoroughly. Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked artichokes will become mushy.
- Use a good quality lasagna noodle. The best lasagna noodles are made from fresh eggs and durum wheat. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Make sure the lasagna is cooked through. The lasagna should be cooked until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. The internal temperature of the lasagna should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. Allow the lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.

Artichoke chicken lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
