  • Chop the turkey and mix together with the vegetables and seasonings until the turkey is browned and cooked through. Add in Pasta Sauce and add a half cup of water to the pasta sauce jar. Shake the jar and pour it in. Simmer your sauce for 30 minutes. You could also simmer it on low for couple of hours. It will only get better!

  • Break your lasagna noodles into 2 inch pieces. This does not have to be perfect. Stir your spinach into your sauce and allow it to wilt. Add lasagna pieces and stir.
    10 Lasagna Noodles, 3 cups Baby Spinach
  • Preheat Oven to 375 Degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil spray. Pour the pasta mixture in. Sprinkle on mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Dollop the ricotta cheese on top in 9 dollops evenly spaced over the lasagna. Sprinkle with oregano. Cover and bake for 40 minutes covered. Remove the cover and bake another 15 minutes. Allow to rest 15 minutes and serve!
