This is a fantastic dish, and a home run hit with friends and is also great for pot-lucks.

1 lb ground turkey

1 lb ground Italian sausage

1 onion

1 litre cream (35%)

2 cups milk

1200 grams of frozen spinach

2 lb’s of mushroom

½ a head of garlic

1 cup of flour

4 tbl spoon of olive oil

½ lb butter

1 kilogram of ricotta

½ lb of sharp white cheddar

2 lb’s of mozzarella

2 tbl spoon of basil

Salt and pepper to taste

White sauce

Combine ¼ cup butter with one table spoon of olive oil in a large saucepot and melt together over medium heat. Add the one cup of flour and stir until combined and smooth. To this flour mixture, add all of the milk and cream and stir to combine over a medium heat. Once sauce has thickened slightly, add all of the frozen spinach, season with salt and pepper, and add about one liter of water to extend the sauce and make it thinner; Stir in the Basil.

Build the Lasagna

This is when the fun begins. Start by putting a bottom layer of lasagna on the bottom of your pan. After this place a little sauce while adding layers of mushroom, meat and the cheeses. Repeat this procedure three times and throw in your preheated oven at 400 degrees. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the noodles are soft enough to poke a hole through. Serve with a baguette and your favourite wine.

Enjoy!
