2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (6 ounce) package shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
9 no-boil lasagna noodles

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onion and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup parsley into the turkey mixture.

GROUND TURKEY LASAGNA



Ground Turkey Lasagna image

A recipe from before I became kosher. I decided to make a lasagna using only ingredients that I could find at my local Trader Joe's (Trader Joe's has terrific fresh, no-boil lasagna noodles for an affordable price in their refrigerator section). I reduced the fat by using ground turkey, low fat milk, and part-skim mozzarella, and leaving out the egg that is usually added to the ricotta mixture. The result is a tasty, easy to make lasagna with tender meat and just the right amount of moisture.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (22 ounce) package lean ground turkey
1 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups shredded parmesan cheese
10 ounces low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 (15 ounce) package fresh ricotta
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups marinara sauce, bottled
1 (13 ounce) package trader joe's fresh no-boil lasagna noodles or 1 (13 ounce) package boiled regular lasagna noodles

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • If no-bake or no-boil fresh noodles are used, no preparation of noodles is required. If you use standard dry lasagna noodles, boil and drain, then rinse with cold water.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onions, saute until onions are opaque and starting to brown. Add freshly minced garlic and 1 tsp fresh minced rosemary. Also add 1/2 of each portion of herbs and spices (1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp parsley, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp or ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt). Saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add ground turkey to pan, mashing and pushing apart meat with the edge of your spatula. Cook until meat has begun to brown.
  • Add 1/2 cup of milk, and simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until meat is entirely cooked. Mix in 2.5 cups of marinara sauce, reserving 1 cup. Turn off heat.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded parmesan (reserving 2/3 cup), remainder of all herbs and spices (including salt and pepper). Mix with hands or spoon.
  • In the bottom of a standard lasagna pan, spread reserved cup of marinara sauce in a thin, even layer. Place a layer of lasagna noodles lengthwise in pan, slightly overlapping.
  • Spread 1/2 of ricotta mixture in a thin, even layer over noodles. Spoon 1/3 of meat sauce over ricotta mixture.
  • Add another layer of lasagna noodles, and repeat previous step.
  • Add 3rd layer of lasagna noodles, and spread remaining sauce over noodles evenly. Mix remaining mozzarella and parmesan, and spread in a thin layer, completely covering the top of the lasagna.
  • Cover in tin foil, making sure the foil is not touching the cheese (you can use toothpicks to ensure that no cheese sticks to the foil, if you like). Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove foil, and bake for another 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and is starting to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the saute pan over medium heat. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer spinach to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the moisture; move spinach to a bowl. Add turkey, remaining garlic, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper to the pan. Cook until brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper and mix into the bowl with the spinach.
  • Remove butternut squash from the oven and leave oven on.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and lay noodles separately on a plate to keep from sticking.
  • Combine cooked butternut squash, ricotta cheese, and eggs together in a bowl until smooth.
  • Coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan with a thin layer of marinara sauce. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the marinara, followed by ricotta mixture and ground turkey. Repeat marinara, noodles, ricotta mixture, and turkey 2 more times. Top with mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the hot oven for about 45 minutes; let cool 10 minutes before cutting.

My father's Thanksgiving signature dish! The instructions may look alittle fussy, but it follows any basic lasagna dish recipe. They are definetely worth a try!

Provided by Izzy Knight

Categories     Canadian

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 eggplants, sliced lengthwise as thinly as possible, place in a bowl and lightly salt
4 -6 tablespoons olive oil
2 lbs ground turkey
1 (796 ml) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried fresh basil
2 tablespoons fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried fresh thyme
2 tablespoons fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried fresh oregano
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup sun-dried tomato
salt and pepper
1 (500 ml) package ricotta cheese (light is fine)
150 g mild goat cheese
1 egg
1 lb mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Saute mushrooms, garlic and onion until limp about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add turkey and saute until meat is cooked through.
  • Stir occasionally to break up any clumps.
  • Add tomatoes, white wine, herbs and balsamic vinegar.
  • Cook stirring frequently until mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Stir in sun dried tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Combine ricotta, egg and goat cheese mixing until smooth.
  • Grease a baking dish or lasagna pan.
  • Spread half the meat mixture over the bottom of the pan.
  • Place eggplant slices over top overlapping slightly.
  • Cover the eggplant with 1/3 of the mozzarella slices.
  • Top with the remaining meat mixture.
  • Cover with eggplant slices then top with the ricotta mixture.
  • Cover with 1/3 of the mozzarella then top with remaining eggplant slices.
  • Layer remaining cheese on top then sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until dish is bubbly and top is nicely browned.
  • Let sit 15 minutes before serving (very important).

Tips:

  • Choose the right lasagna noodles. Look for no-boil lasagna noodles or oven-ready lasagna noodles. These types of noodles do not require pre-boiling and can be cooked directly in the oven. If you are using regular lasagna noodles, be sure to boil them according to the package directions before assembling the lasagna.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of different cheeses, such as mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan, will give your lasagna a rich and flavorful taste. You can also add other cheeses, such as asiago, fontina, or provolone, to taste.
  • Don't overcook the turkey. Turkey can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the turkey until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lasagna rest before slicing. This will allow the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice. Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Turkey lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a lasagna that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give turkey lasagna a try.
