Ingredients
Scale
For the Meat Sauce
- 1 pound Ground Turkey or Chicken (or substitute with ground beef or sausage)
- 1 cup Alfredo Sauce (use a low-carb or homemade option)
For the Cheese Mixture
- 15 ounces Ricotta Cheese (cottage cheese blended can be used for smoother texture)
- 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Minced Garlic (fresh garlic can be substituted)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Minced Onion (fresh onion can be substituted)
For the Layering
- 6 ounces Frozen Spinach (thawed and drained well)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella (part-skim or fresh mozzarella recommended)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat Sauce: In a large frying pan over medium heat, brown the ground turkey or chicken, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Stir in the Alfredo sauce once the meat is fully browned, mixing thoroughly until combined.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, dried minced garlic, and dried minced onion until the mixture becomes smooth and homogenous.
- Prepare the Spinach: Thaw and drain the frozen spinach thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Alternatively, you can lightly sauté fresh spinach until wilted and well-drained.
- Assemble the Lasagna: Grease a casserole dish lightly. Begin by layering half of the meat mixture at the bottom, followed by half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Add half of the drained spinach, then sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat these layers once more to complete the lasagna.
- Bake the Lasagna: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. After this, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the cheese to brown and the lasagna to set.
- Rest and Serve: Once baked, let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This resting time helps the layers set for easier serving.
Notes
- This lasagna can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator unbaked for convenience.
- Using part-skim mozzarella and low-carb Alfredo sauce helps keep the dish keto-friendly.
- For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute the ricotta and egg with appropriate vegan alternatives.
- Ensure spinach is well-drained to prevent excess moisture from making the lasagna watery.
