Gluten-Free Lasagna with Turkey

This classic lasagna recipe is made with turkey and gluten-free noodles! It’s a great meal to feed the whole family with!

It is not easy becoming someone’s favorite cook, especially if you are trying to win over your husband from his mama’s cooking. Basically a life long journey and in some areas probably impossible. As is the case with my mother-in-law’s fine cooking. But I have discovered thus far of our year and a half together, that there is one dish I know he favors of mine over that of others… my lasagna. Which is pretty good since it was a gluten-free lasagna made with turkey, granted he would prefer beef but he still really likes the turkey.

This gluten-free lasagna recipe is also great because I don’t have to plan to make it in advance because most of the ingredients are already in my kitchen, thereby avoiding a special trip to the grocery store. Making your own gluten-free noodles is quite simple. Here is a past post on making gluten-free noodles. Fixing ricotta from scratch is easy peasy and is packed with protein thanks to the cottage cheese. I tried throwing in peppers for a change but you can definitely try spinach or opt out of adding either.

Prep Time 25 minutes mins

Cook Time 40 minutes mins

Ingredients

  

• 3/4 lb ground turkey
• 1 package lasagna noodles
• 1 small onion
• 1-2 garlic cloves
• 1/2 red pepper (diced)
• 1/2 yellow squash (diced)
• 24 oz pasta sauce
• 12 oz cottage cheese
• 1 1/2 cup 1 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 TBS parsley
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 1 tsp oregano
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)

Instructions

 

THE MEAT

• Saute turkey on stove top with onion and garlic and seasonings of your choice (I like to use salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, oregano, and crushed red pepper). Transfer to bowl (unless your saute pan is big enough) to add pasta sauce.. . . .

THE RICOTTA

• In another bowl, mash the cottage cheese until creamed (a potato masher works great for this). In that same bowl, stir in the parmesan, parsley, and oregano.

NOODLES & CHEESE

• Follow noodle cooking instructions (if making gluten-free noodles from scratch, do step three first). Grate cheese.
• You will now have four separate groups. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a 13x9 inch glass pan begin by spreading half of the meat sauce. Layer next with lasagna noodles, then half the 'ricotta' mixture, half the mozzarella cheese, and another layer of lasagna noodles. Start the layering process again, ending with the mozzarella cheese on top. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Bake for about 40 minutes. Uncover to bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven, garnish with parsley, and let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
