Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 Vidalia onion, diced
• 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
• 12 lasagna noodles
• Zest of 2 lemons
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced white mushrooms
• 2 cups grated Asiago cheese
• 2 (9 ounce) packages frozen spinach, thawed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

Combine onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until onion is just translucent, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and cook until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper; cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 4

Wrap thawed spinach in a clean dish towel. Wring the spinach over a bowl to remove as much water as possible. Stir spinach, ricotta cheese, heavy cream, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl.

Step 5

Coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with 3 tablespoons spaghetti sauce. Layer 4 cooked lasagna noodles, 1/2 the spinach mixture, 1/2 the turkey mixture, 1/3 of the Asiago cheese, a third of the Cheddar cheese, and 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce on top. Layer 4 more noodles, the remaining spinach and turkey mixtures, another 1/3 of the Asiago cheese, another 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese, and another 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce. Top with the remaining 4 lasagna noodles, spaghetti sauce, Asiago cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Continue baking until crust is golden, about 15 minutes more.
