White Lasagna with Turkey Sausage
This delectable dish begins with savory ground turkey sausage, cooked to perfection and combined with a creamy Alfredo sauce, creating a luscious base for each layer. The rich, homemade Alfredo sauce melds with tender lasagna noodles, while a generous layer of spinach and creamy ricotta cheese adds a touch of freshness and depth. Seasoned with garlic powder and a hint of nutmeg, the blend of cheeses—mozzarella and Parmesan—creates a golden, bubbly topping that crowns this comforting bake.

Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey sausage
5 cups homemade Alfredo sauce (or jarred), divided (see recipe)
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen spinach, thawed
1 lb ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 (1 lb) pkg lasagna noodles, cooked
2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated or torn
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 425° F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until all liquid releases and evaporates and meat begins to brown. Pour 4 cups of Alfredo sauce into a bowl. Stir in the sausage. Reserve the remaining 1 cup of Alfredo sauce. Set aside.
  2. Squeeze all of the liquid out of the spinach. Place spinach in a large bowl. Add the ricotta, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  3. Grease a 13 x 18 sheet pan with olive oil cooking spray. Spread 2 cups of the turkey and Alfredo sauce mixture across the pan. Cover with a single layer of noodles. Spread two-thirds of the ricotta mixture over the top of the noodles. Add one cup of mozzarella cheese and one cup of turkey mixture. Cover with another layer of noodles. Top with the remaining one cup of Alfredo sauce, ricotta mixture, mozzarella and parmesan.
  4. Place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly, cheese is melted and edges begin to brown. Let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into squares to serve.


Homemade Alfredo Sauce
In a saucepan over low heat, melt 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir in 5 tablespoons of all purpose flour. Whisk the mixture into a smooth blonde paste. Slowly whisk in 5 cups of room-temperature milk, one cup at a time. Increase the heat to medium. Bring milk to a simmer. Let thicken for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Stir. Turn off heat. Stir in 2 cups of shredded parmesan cheese. The sauce will thicken as it cools. (Makes 5 cups)
