Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  4. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, half of the grated Parmesan, and half of the thawed spinach.
  5. Spread 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
  6. Layer with lasagna noodles, then half of the turkey mixture, half of the ricotta-spinach mixture, and half of the mozzarella.
  7. Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining turkey, remaining ricotta-spinach mix, and remaining mozzarella.
  8. Top with the remaining spaghetti sauce and the rest of the grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  10. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
