Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey or chicken
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 6 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained well
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until no pink remains, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, dried garlic, and dried onion. Stir until smooth.
- Squeeze all excess liquid from the thawed spinach. Add the spinach to the ricotta mixture and fold until combined.
- To assemble, spread half of the cooked turkey in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Top the turkey with the entire ricotta-spinach mixture, spreading it evenly.
- Spread the remaining cooked turkey over the ricotta layer.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the top layer of turkey.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the layers set.
Recipe Notes
- Meat Variations: Ground beef, Italian sausage, or a plant-based ground alternative can be used instead of turkey.
- Sauce Choice: For a lower-carb option, use a homemade Alfredo sauce or a store-bought brand with minimal added sugars.
- Spinach Prep: Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery lasagna.
- Make-Ahead: Assemble the lasagna up to the cheese layer, cover tightly. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add 5-10 minutes to the bake time.
- Storage: Leftover s keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave.
