  • Turkey Lasagna With White Sauce

Let me show you the five ingredients from which I will prepare this lasagne.

Ingredients

From the turkey lasagna with white sauce recipe, I chose all the ingredients to make our work more accessible and cook as soon as possible.

I first bought fresh lasagna sheets because they are made in two minutes and do not require pre-boiling or using a lot of sauce in the recipe. We need a pack of six sheets of lasagne for four servings, a total of 250 g.

Turkey Lasagna With White Sauce-All Ingredients on the Table

For the filling, I will use 800 g of minced turkey meat. First of all, because it cooks quickly, you will see that in 15 minutes, it is ready. Secondly, because it contains less fat and is healthier.

I will add two medium-sized onions and two tablespoons of tomato paste to the meat.

Also, to make my work more accessible (do not make bechamel sauce), I bought two boxes of cheddar cream cheese sauce of 350 g each. Is made from cheddar cheese, water and milk.

I will sprinkle plenty of mozzarella cheese on top. About 100 g, which I bought ready to be grated to avoid wasting time.

Preparing the Ingredients

Preparing the ingredients is quick and easy. All you have to do is peel the onion and chop it as small as possible to cook as quickly as possible.

I will finely chop the chives and break the thyme leaves from the twigs.

How to Make the Turkey Lasagna With White Sauce?

In the beginning, I will prepare the filling. Then we will build the lasagne and put it in the oven.

Make the Filling

Heat 50 ml of sunflower oil in a larger frying pan and fry the chopped onion. Season with a teaspoon of sea salt and fry the onion for about 1-2 minutes on medium heat. Stir, until it becomes glassy.

I add the minced turkey meat that I break into pieces to cover the entire surface of the pan.

Fry the mince meat, stirring and turning them over, for about 3-4 minutes, over medium heat until they become whitish.

Add two tablespoons of tomato paste. Season with a teaspoon of sea salt, half a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper, and four thyme sprigs.

Put the lid on, and reduce the temperature to a minimum. I let it simmer for about 15 minutes until all the liquid had evaporated. I mentioned that I did not add water at all. After I put the lid on, the meat will remove enough liquid to simmer.

The filling is ready, we put it together to cool a little, and we start to assemble the lasagna.

Layering the Turkey Lasagna

I chose a glass baking dish because it seems the most suitable for this recipe. I pour half a can of cheese sauce (about 175 g) on its bottom with a tablespoon of sunflower oil.

Place the first two lasagna sheets on top of this sauce to be cooked underneath, do not dry out, and remain crispy.

Over the lasagna sheets, I will spread half of the turkey filling evenly to get everywhere.

Over the meat, I add cheddar cheese sauce, about half a can, and a third of the chopped chives that will flavour and colour the dish.

Two more lasagna sheets follow, and we continue to the next level.

Add the rest of the meat filling, which level to reach everywhere.

Over the meat follows white sauce, half the can again, and again chopped chives.

I cover with the last two lasagna sheets, and I stop here with the levels; whoever wants to make several layers, that's enough for me.

Over these sheets, I will pour the rest of the sauce that I level with a spoon and sprinkle the rest of the chopped chives.

We have to add a generous amount of mozzarella grated on top, which will melt and give the dish a unique taste and look.

Baking the Lasagna

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius Fan (425 F, 220 C, Gas Mark 7), insert the tray and bake for about 25 minutes. Some people prefer to cover the tray with aluminium foil first, but I didn't. I inserted it uncovered and left it until it got a beautiful golden colour on top.

Serving

Serve hot, cut a slice of lasagna from the pan, grate some Parmesan cheese on top and sprinkle with chopped chives, a delight.
