Make Parmesan Garlic Turkey Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna with clear steps, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 6 oz turkey bacon chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped turkey bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the turkey bacon is crispy, add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine, then let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with half of the grated Parmesan and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  • In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the turkey bacon and ground turkey mixture on the bottom.
  • Layer three lasagna noodles over the meat mixture, followed by one-third of the ricotta mixture, one-third of the mozzarella cheese, and one-third of the remaining meat mixture.
  • Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkling the rest of the grated Parmesan on top.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  • After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
