Steps

1. ### Spinach and Turkey Lasagna Recipe: A Flavorful Delight
3. #### Ingredients:
5. - **2 cups shredded turkey** (dark meat preferred)
6. - **1 bag fresh baby spinach leaves**
7. - **3 lasagna noodles**
8. - **40 oz ricotta cheese**
9. - **8 oz mozzarella, sliced or grated**
10. - **8 oz Parmesan cheese, grated**
11. - **1/2 cup chopped onions**
12. - **1 minced garlic clove**
13. - **1 (6.5oz) jar marinara sauce**
14. - **Salt and pepper to taste**
16. #### Step-by-Step Guide:
18. 1. **Preheat Oven:** Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the lasagna bakes evenly.
20. 2. **Cook Turkey:** In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the shredded turkey until it's no longer pink and slightly browned. Drain any excess fat.
22. 3. **Prepare Spinach:** Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Sauté the spinach in a small amount of olive oil in another pan for about 2-3 minutes, or until it wilts down. Set aside to cool.
24. 4. **Combine Ingredients:** In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, all of the Parmesan, and the chopped onions with minced garlic. Season this mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
26. 5. **Layering:**
27. - Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of your baking dish.
28. - Lay down 1 lasagna noodle over the sauce.
29. - Add a layer of the turkey mixture, followed by half the spinach leaves.
30. - Pour another layer of sauce over it and sprinkle with a little mozzarella cheese.
31. - Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used up, ending with a final layer of marinara sauce on top.
33. 6. **Baking:** Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes to allow the lasagna to set. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the noodles are tender.
35. 7. **Resting Time:** Let it cool slightly before serving so that the layers can set properly, making it easier to slice.
37. 8. **Serving:** Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and enjoy your delicious spinach and turkey lasagna!
