Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 package (20 oz) ground turkey
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 jar (25.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic Italian herb pasta sauce
2 boxes (9 oz each) frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
1 cup shredded carrot, if desired
1 container (15 oz) whole milk ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1 jar (25.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic Italian herb pasta sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
1/2 cup julienne-cut fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In 5-quart Dutch oven, cook lasagna noodles as directed on package. Drain; rinse with hot water. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add turkey, garlic and Italian seasoning; cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until turkey is no longer pink. Stir in 1 jar pasta sauce; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to medium bowl; cool 10 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, mix spinach, carrot, ricotta cheese and eggs.
  • Spread slightly less than 1/4 cup ricotta mixture evenly along center of each cooked lasagna noodle. Spread 1/4 cup turkey mixture over ricotta mixture, to within 1 inch of one short end. Roll up firmly toward unfilled end. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Place roll-ups seam side down in pan; cover loosely with foil. Freeze about 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Place frozen rolls in two labeled 1-gallon airtight freezer bags. Freeze up to 3 months.
  • To bake 16 lasagna roll-ups, spray two 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dishes with cooking spray. Remove roll-ups from freezer bag; place 8 in each baking dish. Cover with foil; thaw in refrigerator at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Divide remaining jar of pasta sauce between baking dishes, pouring over and down sides of roll-ups. Cover tightly with foil; bake 40 to 50 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Remove foil; sprinkle each dish with 1 cup mozzarella cheese; bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Top with basil.

I'm going to try making these lasagna roll-ups with different fillings, like pesto and chicken or ricotta and vegetables.

I think these lasagna roll-ups would be even better if they were baked in a tomato sauce.

I would have liked more detailed instructions on how to make the filling. I wasn't sure how much spinach to use or how long to cook it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lasagna roll-ups didn't turn out as good as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These lasagna roll-ups were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

The filling was a bit too runny for my liking. I think I'll drain the spinach better next time.

These lasagna roll-ups were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I added some mushrooms and bell peppers to the filling for extra flavor. It was a great addition.
