Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Noodles
- 12 lasagna noodles
Turkey Mixture
- 1 lb ground turkey
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
Seasonings & Sauce
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is at the perfect temperature for baking the lasagna roll-ups.
- Cook Noodles: Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and carefully lay them flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Turkey Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, beaten egg, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked ground turkey until fully incorporated.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread a thin, even layer of the turkey and cheese mixture over each lasagna noodle. Carefully roll up each noodle and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-up noodles, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top for a bubbly, golden finish.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool for a few minutes after baking for easier serving, then serve warm and enjoy your hearty turkey lasagna roll-ups.
Notes
- You can prepare the roll-ups ahead of time and refrigerate before baking for convenience.
- Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
