Ingredients

• 12 sheets lasagna noodles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped mushrooms, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are softened.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley (if using). Set aside.

Step 8

To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the turkey mushroom sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 3-4 lasagna noodles on top.

Step 9

Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of turkey mushroom sauce. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 10

Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of turkey mushroom sauce and a generous sprinkling of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 11

Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
