Three-Cheese Pesto Turkey Lasagna

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 small finely diced onion
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 jar (24 oz) pasta sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 cup prepared pesto
• 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Minced fresh basil for garnishing (optional)

Instructions:

1. Brown ground turkey, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and add pasta sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk ricotta cheese and pesto until smooth.
3. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 13x9 baking pan.
4. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta pesto, and 1/3 of the meat sauce. Repeat layers three times, ending with meat sauce.
5. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil.
6. Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lasagna noodles are tender.
7. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with minced basil if desired.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use homemade pasta sauce.
• You can substitute no-boil lasagna noodles with regular lasagna noodles that need to be cooked beforehand.
• To make this dish vegetarian, use ground beef or lentils instead of ground turkey.
