For the meat sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground turkey
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the béchamel

3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt

For assembly

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until just al dente — tender but with a slight resistance at the center. Drain in a colander and lay the noodles flat on a lightly oiled baking sheet to prevent sticking.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
