WHITE LASAGNA WITH SPICY TURKEY SAUSAGE AND 'SHROOMS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the white sauce: Bring a medium saucepan to low-medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, stir in the flour with a wooden spoon; cook for 2 minutes (do not let it color). Add the milk and bring to a boil, continuing to stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add in the Parmesan, whisking to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the lasagna: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and cook the turkey sausage until just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to saute until golden brown and the turkey is cooked through, 4 to 6 additional minutes. Season with kosher salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Stir well, and then shut off the heat and set aside to cool.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine ricotta, egg, Parmesan, about 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt and a few rounds of cracked pepper. Spread 1/4 cup of the white sauce in the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch nonreactive baking dish. Begin layering with 3 noodles, followed with about 1 cup ricotta mixture. Layer about half of the zucchini evenly over the ricotta. Follow with half the turkey sausage and mushrooms, finishing with 1 cup white sauce. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat. Top the second layer with 4 noodles, white sauce and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella. Bake, covered with foil, for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and remove the foil cover. Heat the broiler to maximum temperature. Broil until the cheese is browned and bubbling, about 1 minute. Garnish with the parsley.

MOM'S WHITE LASAGNA
My mom made this lasagna for special occasions, such as birthdays. When she passed, I inherited her cookbooks-tucked inside one of them, I found this recipe folded into a letter she wrote to me while I was stationed overseas. It's a hearty, rich dish that reminds me of home. -Janet Wing, Minot, North Dakota

TURKEY LASAGNA
This is my own recipe. Instead of ricotta cheese I make white sauce from cream of chicken soup. It takes only 10 minutes to put together. What I like about this dish is that you can make it ahead a time, keep it in fridge and bake it latter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, parmesan cheese, turkey, and garlic salt.
- In a greased 9x13" baking pan, spread 1/3 of the chicken mixture and top with one layer of lasagna noodles. Repeat two more times.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and bake for 40-45 minutes until cheese starts to bubble and brown. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your lasagna. Some good choices include spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the turkey. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. Otherwise, it will make the lasagna watery. If the sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes until it has thickened.
- Use a good quality lasagna noodle. This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a noodle that is cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Don't skimp on the cheese. Cheese is what makes lasagna so delicious. Use a combination of different cheeses, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
