Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to become translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the turkey and garlic and continue to cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes to the saucepan. Add the whole peeled tomatoes, crushing them with you hand as you pour them in. Stir in the oregano. Add salt and pepper to taste, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes; remove the lid for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile, set aside 1 cup of the mozzarella and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan in a small bowl. Mix together the ricotta, parsley, egg, the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spread about 2 cups of the sauce in the bottom of a deep 9-by-13-inch broiler-proof baking dish (see Cook's Note). Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles across the bottom of the dish lengthwise, leaving about 1/2 inch between each. Place a fourth noddle across the short side of the dish, breaking to fit as needed. Spread about 1 1/2 cups sauce on the noodles. Using an ice-cream scoop or a large spoon, dollop one-third of the cheese mixture evenly on top of the sauce. Arrange another layer of noodles the same as the first, pressing down gently to spread the cheese mixture. Repeat layering the sauce, cheese mixture and noodles two more times, ending with the noodles. On top of the last layer, spread the remaining sauce.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake until the noodles are tender when you insert the tip of a paring knife, about 1 hour. Remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle with the reserved mozzarella and Parmesan. Increase the oven temperature to broil and broil the lasagna until the cheese is melted, golden and bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes. Let the lasagna sit for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large (10 to 12-inch) skillet. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the sausage and cook over medium-low heat, breaking it up with a fork, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat, for 15 to 20 minutes, until thickened.
- Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with the hottest tap water. Add the noodles and allow them to sit in the water for 20 minutes. Drain.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, goat cheese, 1 cup of Parmesan, the egg, the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
- Ladle 1/3 of the sauce into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch rectangular baking dish, spreading the sauce over the bottom of the dish. Then add the layers as follows: half the pasta, half the mozzarella, half the ricotta, and one 1/3 of the sauce. Add the rest of the pasta, mozzarella, ricotta, and finally, sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling.

Steps:
- Add oil to a large pot or dutch oven and place over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add in garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add in the ground turkey and onion and cook until turkey is no longer pink. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, water and pure maple syrup. Next add in fresh herbs & spices: basil, italian seasoning, oregano, fennel, red pepper flakes, nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and simmer on low while you cook the lasagna noodles.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles for 6-8 minutes or until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water. Another option is to soak the lasagna noodles in very warm (hot) water for 20-30 minutes if you do not want to boil them. (You can also use no cook lasagna noodles, but they aren't my favorite!)
- While the lasagna noodles are boiling, make the ricotta mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, egg, basil and salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread 1 1/2 cups of the turkey meat sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Place 5 of the cooked lasagna noodles on top, 4 vertical and 1 horizontal. Spread with half of the ricotta cheese mixture, 2 tablespoons diced basil, then top with 1/3 of the mozzarella slices. Next, add 1 1/2 cups of the meat sauce on top of the mozzarella and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. Repeat layers once more: remaining noodles, ricotta, basil, 1/3 of the mozzarella slices, any remaining meat sauce and 1/4 cup parmesan. Top with remaining mozzarella.
- Cover with foil and bake covered for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20 minutes. If you'd like bubbly, golden brown cheese, broil the top for 2 minutes or until mozzarella is golden brown. Garnish with 1/4 cup parmesan and extra basil. Cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. Serves 12.

TURKEY LASAGNA
This recipe for a white-sauce based lasagna is a great way to use up leftover turkey. For a little added spice dry a half teaspoon of dried mustard in the white sauce. Oven ready lasagna noodles make this recipe quick to prepare.

GROUND TURKEY LASAGNA
A recipe from before I became kosher. I decided to make a lasagna using only ingredients that I could find at my local Trader Joe's (Trader Joe's has terrific fresh, no-boil lasagna noodles for an affordable price in their refrigerator section). I reduced the fat by using ground turkey, low fat milk, and part-skim mozzarella, and leaving out the egg that is usually added to the ricotta mixture. The result is a tasty, easy to make lasagna with tender meat and just the right amount of moisture.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- If no-bake or no-boil fresh noodles are used, no preparation of noodles is required. If you use standard dry lasagna noodles, boil and drain, then rinse with cold water.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onions, saute until onions are opaque and starting to brown. Add freshly minced garlic and 1 tsp fresh minced rosemary. Also add 1/2 of each portion of herbs and spices (1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp parsley, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp or ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt). Saute for 2 minutes.
- Add ground turkey to pan, mashing and pushing apart meat with the edge of your spatula. Cook until meat has begun to brown.
- Add 1/2 cup of milk, and simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until meat is entirely cooked. Mix in 2.5 cups of marinara sauce, reserving 1 cup. Turn off heat.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded parmesan (reserving 2/3 cup), remainder of all herbs and spices (including salt and pepper). Mix with hands or spoon.
- In the bottom of a standard lasagna pan, spread reserved cup of marinara sauce in a thin, even layer. Place a layer of lasagna noodles lengthwise in pan, slightly overlapping.
- Spread 1/2 of ricotta mixture in a thin, even layer over noodles. Spoon 1/3 of meat sauce over ricotta mixture.
- Add another layer of lasagna noodles, and repeat previous step.
- Add 3rd layer of lasagna noodles, and spread remaining sauce over noodles evenly. Mix remaining mozzarella and parmesan, and spread in a thin layer, completely covering the top of the lasagna.
- Cover in tin foil, making sure the foil is not touching the cheese (you can use toothpicks to ensure that no cheese sticks to the foil, if you like). Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil, and bake for another 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and is starting to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.
