Serves

2

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup leftover shredded or diced turkey
  • 1/4 cup gravy
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 6 oven-ready lasagna noodles
  • 1 ½ cups leftover creamed spinach (or other cooked greens mixed with ricotta cheese and garlic)
  • 1 cup roasted mashed sweet potato or squash
  • 1 jar marinara sauce
  • Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions:

  • Heat gravy in a Crock-pot, add milk, and stir until bubbling. Stir in the turkey and let cool.
  • Boil noodles in boiling water only until pliable (about 2 minutes), rinse with cold water, and then lay noodles on a work surface (like a clean countertop or cutting board).
  • Spread a generous portion of spinach on three noodles and layer a second noodle on top.
  • On the second noodle, cover half with squash and the other half with the turkey-and-gravy mixture. If you have extra turkey sauce, drizzle on top.
  • Starting at either end, gently roll the noodle (like you're making sushi) into an roll. Rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour marinara sauce into a medium (2-quart) baking dish.
  • Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut each lasagna roll in half (creating two short columns) and place in the baking dish (with marinara) swirl-side up with jagged edges pointing up.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Broil on low for an additional 2-3 minutes if you want a crisp top.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and serve.
