Ingredients
- 1 lb.
lasagna noodles
Kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil
- 2
cloves garlic, minced
- 1
onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp.
tomato paste
- 1 lb.
ground turkey
- 1
(28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup
torn basil
- 1
(16-oz.) container ricotta, preferably full fat
- 1/2 cup
grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
- 2 Tbsp.
freshly chopped parsley
- 1
egg
- 1 lb.
fresh mozzarella, sliced
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a large large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and lay noodles on prepared baking sheet.
- Step 2In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, then add ground turkey. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until turkey is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and basil. If the mixture is too thick, fill tomato can about a quarter full with water. Season with salt and pepper and let simmer 20 minutes.
- Step 3In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4In the bottom of a large baking dish, spoon a thin layer of sauce. Add a layer of cooked noodles, overlapping them slightly. Spread about a third of ricotta mixture over noodles, top with sauce, then top with a layer of mozzarella. Repeat to make 3 layers.
- Step 5Bake until lasagna is bubbling and cheese is melty, about 35 minutes.
