SWEET POTATO LASAGNA Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins Total Time: 55 mins Servings: 6
INGREDIENTS: • 1 tbsp olive oil • 2 medium sweet potatoes thinly sliced • 1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey • 1 egg • 2 cups cottage cheese
• 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce/marinara • 8 cremini mushrooms sliced • 1/2 yellow onions diced • 2 clove garlic minced • 1/3 cup finely chopped Italian parsley • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper • 1 tsp dried oregano • 1 tsp dried thyme • 8 oz mozzarella
DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat your oven to 375 F.
8. Add in minced garlic and cook for one more minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant. 9. Return the cooked turkey and add the tomato sauce into the pan and stir to combine. Once this is heated through, remove from the heat. 10. To assemble the lasagna, use a 9x16 casserole dish and create the first layer with the sweet potato slices. Make sure to overlap each slice to create an even layer. 11. Pour half the meat sauce over the sweet potato slices and spread out evenly. 12. Pour half of the cottage cheese mixture over the meat sauce and spread evenly. (It’s okay if it doesn’t look perfect - it will still be super tasty.) 13. Repeat these three steps with another layer of sweet potato slices, meat sauce, and then the cottage cheese. 14. Top with a thin layer of sliced fresh mozzarella and then cover with tin foil. 15. Place in the oven bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potato slices are almost fully tender. https://www.asweetpeachef.com/sweet-potato-lasagna/
2. Slice the sweet potatoes very thin, approx. 1/8 - 1/16 of an inch. (You can either use a mandolin or a sharp knife.) The more uniform the better so they cook evenly. 3. In a mediummixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the egg and finely chopped Italian parsley. Mix well and set aside. 4. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Once hot, add the lean ground turkey, dried oregano, dried thyme, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Cook this until it becomes well-browned, which should take 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently. 5. Once the meat is well-browned, remove it from the pan and set aside. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat from the turkey. If you have more than that, you can discard the rest. 6. Add diced yellow onion and cook it over medium-high heat until it starts to become tender. 7. Add in the cremini mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms start to become tender.
