Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 pounds hot Italian turkey sausages, casings removed
Spicy Tomato Sauce
1 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1 3/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
3 cups shredded provolone cheese (about 12 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages; sauté until brown, using fork to break up meat into coarse pieces, about 7 minutes. Add Spicy Tomato Sauce. Simmer 5 minutes.
  • Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Whisk ricotta, spinach, 1 cup Parmesan, eggs, cream, basil, oregano and pepper in large bowl. Set aside. Spoon 1 cup sauce over bottom of 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Place 3 noodles over sauce in single layer. Spread 1 cup sauce over noodles. Spoon 1 cup ricotta mixture over sauce. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1 cup provolone over ricotta mixture. Repeat layering with 3 noodles, 1 cup sauce, 1 cup ricotta mixture, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1 cup provolone. Arrange remaining 3 noodles over cheese. Spoon 1 cup sauce over noodles. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1 cup provolone over lasagna. Dollop remaining ricotta mixture atop lasagna. Spoon 2 1/2 cups sauce around ricotta dollops. Tightly cover baking dish with foil.
  • Bake lasagna 50 minutes; uncover and continue baking until noodles are tender and lasagna is hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes longer. Let lasagna stand 15 minutes before serving. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm, covered with foil, in 350°F. oven about 45 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, rewarm remaining sauce in small saucepan over medium heat. Serve lasagna, passing remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your lasagna. Look for fresh ground turkey sausage, flavorful cheeses, and a good quality tomato sauce.
  • Season the turkey sausage well: Don't be afraid to season the turkey sausage generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses will give your lasagna a more complex flavor. Try using a mixture of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna: Lasagna is best when it is cooked through but still slightly al dente. Overcooking will make the lasagna dry and tough.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: After baking, let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the lasagna to set.

Conclusion:

Lasagna with turkey sausage is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey sausage, and it is also a great option for a weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious lasagna with turkey sausage that your family and friends will love.
