Turkey, Chicken, Artichoke Lasagna Florentine image

Oh man! This recipe came from not having quite enough of one type of meat. So "improvise" is what I say! This is rich, creamy and good enough for company. I've tried to trim it down a bit by using low fat cheeses & 1% milk. There's still some calories but I promise you that you will love this!

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 30

9-12 lasagna noodles, cooked
20 oz pkg ground turkey
4 chicken tenderloins
3 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp nutmeg, ground
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp sweet basil, dried
1 1/2 tsp oregano, dried
1 small onion, diced
2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 stick butter, unsalted
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 c milk, 1%
1 can(s) mushrooms, canned, diced
1 c parmesan cheese, grated (divided)
3-4 pinch salt and pepper
1 jar(s) artichoke hearts, drained & chopped
CHEESE FILLING
8 oz cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 c mozzarella cheese, low-fat
6 oz spinach, frozen, thawed & squeezed
1/2 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg & red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
3-4 pinch salt and pepper
1 pkg provolone cheese, slices (use 5-6 on 1st two layers)
TOPPING
1 1/2 c shredded cheese (garlic parsley, cheddar & parmesan)

Steps:

  • 1. Fill large stock pot 3/4 full of cold water & add about 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and add lasagna noodles. Cook according to package directions until al dente.
  • 2. In large skillet add olive oil and brown ground turkey and finely chopped chicken for 3-5 minutes.
  • 3. Approximately halfway through browning (3-5 minutes) add the following seasonings: Garlic & Onion Powder, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, dried basil & oregano.
  • 4. Add 1/2 stick butter and diced onion allow to saute until onion is partially cooked about 3 minutes then sprinkle all ingredients with flour and stir. Let the flour cook off for a few minutes it will have a paste like appearance and begin to slightly brown.
  • 5. Now slowly wisk in milk while simmering gently. You may need a bit more but 1 cup is close. Simmering for a few minutes will thicken slightly then add parmesan cheese to thicken more. It should resemble slightly thicker jarred alfredo sauce.
  • 6. Add minced garlic, drained & chopped artichokes & mushrooms to the meat & sauce mixture and simmer for a few minutes. Remove this from the heat and let cool while assembling the cheese filling.
  • 7. In a large mixing bowl scramble 2 eggs then add and combine the remaining ingredients for the cheese filling. *be sure you squeeze the moisture out of the thawed spinach
  • 8. For the assembly spray a large 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread a few tablespoons of the meat & sauce mixture across the bottom to prevent the noodles from sticking.
  • 9. Layer 3 noodles, 1/3 meat & sauce mixture, 1/2 cheese filling, 6 provelone cheese slices then noodles, 1/3 meat, remaining 1/2 cheese filling & 6 more provelone cheese slices last layer will be meat & sauce topped with shredded cheeses of your choice **I tried Garlic Parsley, Cheddar & Parmesean Cheeses this time and it was so good!
  • 10. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes removing foil the last 10 minutes to melt cheese well. Remove from oven & let stand for 10-15 minutes to set. Serve with mixed greens & garlic bread.

This lasagna is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

The Florentine sauce is what really makes this lasagna special. It's so creamy and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the turkey, chicken, and artichoke.

I love the combination of turkey and chicken in this lasagna. It makes it a lighter dish, but still very flavorful.
