Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1lb lean ground turkey
- ½ medium onion (minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 ½ tablespoons dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 cup parmesan reggiano cheese
- 5 cups janie's marinara sauce
- 2 cups part skim ricotta
- 1 box lasagna noodle
- 2 heaped tablespoons salt for pasta water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, add olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add your minced garlic and onions and saute until translucent.
Step 3
Add your ground lean turkey meat, oregano, salt and pepper and cook until almost no pink color is visible, roughly 8 minutes.
Step 4
Set your gournd turkey mixture to the side and turn off heat.
Step 5
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 190°C / 375°F / Gas Mark 5 and bring an extra large pot of water to a boil. Add your salt once it's boiling.
Step 6
Stir the water to make sure the salt is dissolved and then add your lasagna pasta noodles. Cook the pasta 2 minutes before the instructions on the box say to cook the pasta to. We want al dente pasta so when it bakes it will be cooked perfectly . Make sure to stir the pasta every other minute to allow the noodles to cook evenly and not stick together.
Step 7
Drain the noodles. Now it's time to assemble the lasagna.
Step 8
In a large glass baking rectangle shaped dish 23x33cm (9x13") ladle a layer of the marinara on the bottom.
Step 9
Add a single layer of the pasta overlapping the pasta sheets by half so there is no way the lasagna will fall apart when you cut the lasagna to serve.
Step 10
Layer a thin layer of ricotta over the pasta sheets.
Step 11
Sprinkle a single layer of the turkey meat over the ricotta.
Step 12
Layer a quarter of the parmesan cheese over the turkey meat.
Step 13
Repeat starting with the marinara sauce, the the noodles and so forth until your baking dish is full.
Step 14
Layer the last bit of parmesan cheese on top so it creates a crust for the top of the lasagna.
Step 15
Put aluminum foil over the top of the baking dish and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
Step 16
Remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 15 minutes.
Step 17
Serve warm. I like to put an extra dollop of the marinara sauce on top right before serving with the parsley to decorate.
