See all
Chef's tip
Gluten-free pasta often cooks faster, so check it a little early to avoid becoming mushy.
1 tbsp olive oil

For the turkey filling

1 ½ lb ground turkey
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried italian seasoning
½ tsp red pepper flakes
salt and pepper, to taste

For the ricotta layer

15 oz whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 large egg
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ tsp ground nutmeg

For the garlic-Parmesan béchamel

4 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk, warmed
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For assembly

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

For the crispy garlic

6 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch salt

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles with 1 tbsp olive oil until just shy of al dente — tender but with a firm center, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and lay flat on a lightly oiled sheet of foil to prevent sticking.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the 4 cloves minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
