Turkey Tortilla Lasagna

Happy Monday, everyone!

Tonight’s dinner features a very easy twist on lasagna that’s perfect for a quick weekday meal. Its one of the sous chef’s favourites… read on for more evidence on that!

To start, you need a meat sauce prepared ahead of time (unless you were simply using jarred tomato sauce). Luckily, we had some in the freezer so I just defrosted it the day before. It consisted of tomato sauce, ground turkey, sauteed mushrooms, onions, and spices.

Now, all you need to do is layer a few things and throw it in a preheated oven to 350 degrees, couldn’t be easier!

First up – lightly spray the bottom of a pie pan or cake pan (I used an 8 inch round pan). Put down one tortilla.

Next, add half of the sauce mixture you’re planning to use.

Then I sprinkled on some nutritional yeast (you could skip this or add Parmesan).

Fresh spinach comes next, along with grated cheddar cheese (I used a vegan substitute because I’m avoiding dairy and it was actually really good – the sous chef loved it!!).

And repeat! One more layer in the same order: tortilla, the rest of the sauce, nutritional yeast, spinach, cheese. I also added fresh basil to this layer.

Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy!

A sign of a good meal? The sous chef actually would not surrender the pan to be washed; he was determined to get every speck of sauce/cheese he could! (Kind of reminds me of someone named Max!).

Give this one a try!
