A delicious and healthier take on lasagna, featuring layers of turkey, spinach, and cheese without the noodles.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Breaking the turkey into small pieces while cooking helps it cook evenly.
Add the sliced mushrooms, tomato sauce, and seasonings to the turkey. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure flavors meld together.
Thaw and squeeze the spinach to remove excess water. Mix it with the cottage cheese in a bowl.
Removing excess water from the spinach prevents the dish from becoming watery.
In a baking dish, layer the turkey mixture, spinach mixture, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with a cheese layer.
Press each layer gently to ensure even distribution.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden top, broil for an additional 2 minutes.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
Allowing the dish to rest helps the layers set for easier serving.
