What a quick and easy lasagna! Since you are only dirtying one pot, It is great to throw together on a busy night. Cumin was an unusual spice, but it blends lovely with the other spices. The cream cheese makes the sauce super creamy. It is so flavorful, I bet no one will even be able to tell this lasagna is made with ground turkey. Your whole crew is going to love this! This is a pretty simple one havepot lasagna. I don't dirty any other dishes! I used a Dutch oven, but it will work with any pan that can transfer from stovetop to oven. To make it a little spicier I add crushed red pepper flakes!!
Prep time: Cook time:
Recipe Cuisine: Italian Recipe Category: Turkey Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients :
- 1 pound(s) ground turkey
- 1/2 package(s) cream cheese
- 1 cup(s) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- - mozzarella, to sprinkle
- 3 cup(s) marinara sauce
- 5-6 slice(s) oven ready lasagna noodles
- SPICES:: TO TASTE
- 1 tablespoon(s) basil, dried
- 1 tablespoon(s) garlic (powder or fresh)
- 1 tablespoon(s) sea salt
- 1 tablespoon(s) black pepper
- 1 tablespoon(s) minced onion
- 1 teaspoon(s) cumin
Intructions :
- In a Dutch oven, or other pot able to use on stovetop and oven, cook the ground turkey with minced onion, garlic and basil
- Once the turkey is cooked, add the remaining spices and the marinara sauce and simmer on low for 30 minutes
- Add in the cream cheese and let it melt down until the mixture is creamy
- Then introduce the mozzarella and let it let it thicken. Once the two soft cheeses have combined, use your spoon/spatula to push aside the turkey mixture and lay one of your noodles down
- Then push the turkey back over top of the noodle and lay the next noodle down and cover that up, forming the bottom layer of your lasagna
- Sprinkle some mozzarella down and then place remaining noodles on top of your turkey and cheese mix. Sprinkle with additional cheese to help it hold together
- Place in the oven on 350* for 30 minutes with the cover and then an additional 10 minutes with out the cover to crisp the cheese. *I also threw a light dusting of garlic powder, pepper, and salt on top to melt in with the cheese
- Slice off a piece, grab some garlic bread and enjoy!
