Goat cheese turkey lasagna

I have to say I'm very proud of this lasagna though its not the normal traditional lasagna but that's ok. I came up with this awesome recipe because my oldest daughter won't eat cottage or ricotta cheese in regular lasagna so i got creative and came up with something delicious that resembles cottage / ricotta cheese with goat cheese crumbles and whipped cream cheese. Don't use regular style cream cheese as I don't think it will work out and I used leaner ground turkey instead of fatty ground beef for my husband. My husband raved over it and even took a left over slice to work with him and he never eats left overs lol. The rao's marinara sauce is a little pricey but its worth it and I wouldn't use anything else but I guess you could. It just might alter the flavor a little bit. Here is a little tip to make sure you have enough for each layer to quickly put it all together. I'll pre measure the goat cheese mixture out into 3 almost 1 cup portions and I have even done that to the meat sauce as well into 4 1 1/2 almost cup portions as it make it easier for me to easily put it all together. You can make this lasagna a head of time uncooked or cooked covered and refrigerated till ready to cook or heat up. I personally think lasagna taste better the next day when all the flavors really come together. If you try this let me know what you think. 😉 ❤✌

Lasagna has been a family favorite for a long time, specifically for individuals who are limited in their cooking time or abilities. This recipe is guaranteed to taste delicious and satisfy your cravings. The best part about it is that it contains no meat yet everyone loves it !(*) Adding 1/2 pack of Gardein plant-based ground be'f instead of the whole pack will make the sauce less thick and the lasagna more juicy. Recommended for people who prefer it that way. Veggie K -

Easy Lasagna Easy Lasagna
On the back of a box of Mullers Pasta, there is a recipe for an "easy lasagna bake." I've tweaked their recipe over the years. I like hot Italian sausage in mine but it's also good with sweet sausage, ground beef, or even ground turkey. This is very filling and affordable. It costs under $15.00 to make. It's about the size of a family-sized lasagna dinner you find in the frozen section at the supermarket but tastier. #Fakeaway frozen lasagna. Raven -

Beef lasagna Beef lasagna
Beef lasagna is a classic Italian dish made by layering cooked lasagna noodles with a rich meat sauce, cheese mixtures, and then baking until bubbly and golden.This beef lasagna recipe is made with an easy meat sauce as the base, a creamy ricotta cheese mixture and mozzarella cheese. BONUS: it’s make-ahead and freezer-friendly!This lasagna is easy to make. Cook the meat sauce and boil the lasagna noodles. Mix the cheeses mixture and then it is all about layering: meat sauce, lasagna, cheese. Repeat the layers ending up with meat sauce. Bake and allow to cool somewhat.Once removed from oven, allow the dish to rest for at least 15 minutes. I prefer to let it rest for 45 minutes as it will retain the heat. Besides, this makes it easy to slice and hold shape.Lasagna is one of the best meals to make ahead and freeze. Double or triple the recipe and store it tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed. Sarvat Hanif
