Lasagna Roll-Ups
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to heat up while you prepare the lasagna roll-ups.
- Cook Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain and lay them flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cook Turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until it’s no longer pink, breaking it into small crumbles; drain any excess fat.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, beaten egg, garlic powder, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix in the cooked ground turkey until evenly incorporated.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread a thin and even layer of the turkey and cheese mixture over each cooked lasagna noodle. Carefully roll each noodle tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled noodles, ensuring all are well-coated. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting dish with your family and friends!
Notes
- For easier rolling, avoid overfilling the noodles to prevent tearing.
- If ground turkey is not available, lean ground chicken can be used as a substitute.
- To make this dish ahead, assemble and refrigerate before baking; add 5-10 extra minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
