Easy Lasagna Recipe With Turkey Meat

This easy lasagna recipe is made from a turkey meat and is a real treat.

1 package 1 pound (500gr) oven ready lasagna sheets

2 pounds (1kg) turkey sausage meat

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

½ cup white wine

2 (25oz - 796ml) cans of tomatoes, puree in blender

1 (5.5oz - 156ml) can tomato paste

2 cups milk

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped in chopper

1 tablespoon basil leaves, chopped in chopper

1 pound (454g) shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt, pepper to taste

Add onions and cook until softened, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.

Add garlic, sausage meat and parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook on medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.

Add wine, stir and cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until some of the liquid has absorbed.

Pour in canned tomatoes, milk and add tomato paste. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Add fresh basil and cover with lid.

Cook on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 350F (170C).

Coat the bottom of the tray with meat sauce.

Place a sheet of lasagna in tray. Then sprinkle with mozzarella and ½ teaspoon of Parmesan cheese and pour some meat sauce on top. Make sure the sheet is fully covered with sauce.

Repeat this until you have 4-5 layers and end with sauce on top.

Sprinkle top layer with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.

Let stand for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

My time saving “Twist” for this easy lasagna recipe: make 2 smaller trays of the lasagna. Use 1 tray for today’s dinner and freeze 2 tray before putting it into the oven. Then defrost it and bake on a busy day when you don't have time to make a dinner.

Another time saving “Twist”: use frozen cubes of basil without compromising on a taste. 1 cube is equal to 1 tablespoon.
