Turkey Creole Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• In 10-inch skillet, cook turkey over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
• Stir in hot water, milk, uncooked pasta and sauce mix (from Hamburger Helper box), beans and Creole seasoning. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; uncover (sauce will thicken as it stands). Stir before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (10 to 12-inch) skillet. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the sausage and cook over medium-low heat, breaking it up with a fork, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat, for 15 to 20 minutes, until thickened.
• Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with the hottest tap water. Add the noodles and allow them to sit in the water for 20 minutes. Drain.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, goat cheese, 1 cup of Parmesan, the egg, the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Ladle 1/3 of the sauce into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch rectangular baking dish, spreading the sauce over the bottom of the dish. Then add the layers as follows: half the pasta, half the mozzarella, half the ricotta, and one third of the sauce. Add the rest of the pasta, mozzarella, ricotta, and finally, sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta for 6 minutes. Rinse pasta with warm water, drain, coat with oil and set aside. Mix seasonings, reserve 1 tablespoon for ricotta/cheese mixture, and divide remaining seasons in half, set aside. In a large soup pot heated over medium heat add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add ground turkey and andouille sauce, break into small chunks. Season with half of the seasoning blend and cook until browned about 15 minutes. Add tomato paste and mix well, cook for 5 more minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, season with remaining seasoning blend and mix well. Lower heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chopped parsley and mix well and allow sauce to cook about 15 more minutes. TO ASSEMBLE RICOTTA/CHEESE MIXTURE: Mix eggs, ricotta, Parmigiano Reggiano, 1 cup sharp, jack, and mozzarella cheese with remaining seasoning blend and set side. TO ASSEMBLE LASAGNE: In a large greased 13X9-inch casserole dish, place about 1 cup of pasta sauce on the bottom. Top with lasagna noodles, slightly overlapping noodles. Top with more pasta sauce, top with about 6 heaping tablespoons of ricotta/cheese mixture. Top with a handful of remaining grated cheeses and repeat with another layer of lasagna noodles, meat mixture/ricotta cheese mixture/grated cheese. For the last layer top with noodles, pasta sauce and remaining grated cheeses. Cover casserole with greased foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook 20 minutes more. Remove from oven, allow to cool 10 minutes. Serve with garlic bread.
