Ingredients
For the lasagna:
1 pound lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
4. Stir in the pumpkin puree, cranberries, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for 1-2 minutes.
6. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
7. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top, followed by a layer of the turkey and pumpkin mixture. Spread a layer of ricotta cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then drizzle with a layer of the sauce. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of sauce on top.
9. Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese and cover the dish with foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
10. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
This Thanksgiving lasagna is not only a delicious and unique addition to your holiday menu, but it also saves you time and effort in the kitchen. The layers of pumpkin, turkey, and cranberries add a burst of seasonal flavors, while the creamy sauce ties everything together.
