Ingredients:
For the lasagna:
12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1 lb ground turkey
8 slices turkey bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the garlic Parmesan topping:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Cook the Turkey Bacon & Ground Turkey: In a large skillet, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the Sauce: Stir in the marinara sauce, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the Parmesan cheese until smooth. This will serve as your creamy layer.
Assemble the Lasagna: In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer the ingredients. Start with a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a spoonful of the turkey bacon and turkey mixture, then spread a layer of the Parmesan mayo sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Bake the Lasagna: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Make the Garlic Parmesan Topping: While the lasagna bakes, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Once the lasagna is done, drizzle this mixture over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes for extra flavor.
Serve: Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy your cheesy, savory creation!
