Tips

We make our own Italian Turkey Sausage and spice it up nicely.


Directions

Preheat oven to 375F
Brown turkey Italian sausage in a dutch oven with about 2/3 cup of minced onion, 1 tbsp of garlic paste, and 1 tsp of fennel seed. Drain off excess fat. Add 1 1/2 jars of Baritoli Spaghetti sauce and let simmer. Save the other half jar to add when serving if desired. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, add two eggs, ricotta, cottage cheese, and some chopped fresh parsley. Mix up well to incorporate the eggs and aerate the ricotta.
Get a 9x12x3" aluminum (disposable) baking pan. Add about 1/4 of the meat mixture. Add sheets of fresh (refrigerated) lasagna to cover. Add about 1/3rd of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle on top of that shredded mozzarella (about 1 cup worth). Top with about 1/4 of the meat mixture. Top with lasagna sheets. Then 1/3rd cheese and another cup of shredded mozzarella/provolone italian blend cheese. Then 1/4 of the meat mixture. Top with lasagna sheets. Then last of the cheese mixture, a cup of shredded cheese, the last of the meat, and top off with about 1/2 cup of parmesan.
It goes: Meat, Lasagna, Cheese, Meat, Lasagna, Cheese, Meat, Lasagna, Cheese, Meet, and parmesean

Cover with foil (spray with cook spray), bake at 375 F for about 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 30 more minutes. Let set 10 minutes on the counter and serve.
