Tripled the Sauce and added Parmesan to it as recommended. Added, mushrooms, more turkey, bell pepper and spinach however not much. Used the noodles you boil not instant. Turned out very good.
Very tasty & easy. I took others’ advice and tripled the sauce recipe.
This was fantastic! I followed the recipe, but I added a lot of extras… spinach, carrots, cauliflower, mushrooms, more turkey, and more cheese. I also quadrupled the sauce and used fat free milk. However, I only needed an 8 ounce box of the no boil noodles. This made a HUGE lasagna, and my family loved it.
Easy and yummy! I added spinach to the turkey mix and garlic powder and basil to the sauce. I should have doubled or tripled the sauce recipe like some other reviews suggested. My 1 1/2 year old loved it!
It is a very simple recipe…i added some seasonings, such as oregano, garlic, and onion powder. Also, based upon comments from others…I tripled the sauce….it was still dry. Next time I am using four or 5 times the amount for the sauce.
Wow this is good recipe. Following others advice I did the following; I tripled the sauce next time may do 4x’s as it is needed and also added some fresh grated parmesan cheese and black pepper. To the onion and celery added diced red pepper and 1 tsp. of Italian seasoning then added turkey so they would all have a chance to meld. Will be making again. Thank you Bonnie G for sharing this recipe.
Not enough sauce. I would do what another reviewer did next time and triple it or quadruple the sauce. Ended up with too many noodles. Cut that down a bit also.
Sauce and broccoli was good, but didn’t care for turkey. Used cooked lasagna so there was enough sauce.
I made a package Bearnaise sauce which is only 1 cup and doubled the white sauce, added the two together for a rich creamy sauce. Instead of broccoli I substituted with 2 cans of asparagus, would have preferred longer rather then pieces but it worked out well with smaller pieces of turkey. I also loaded on the cheese….going to walk this one off for days. This is similar to chicken asparagus lasagna recipe a friend sent me years ago……delicious
Would be 5 stars but it does need a little extra sauce. Besides that it’s a wonderful dinner. I followed the recipe exactly except I used cooked whole wheat noodles. WONDERFUL
I made two dishes of this. One for my daughter and her family and one for us. It was just ok. I guess being Italian I prefer it with beef and tomato base. My husband liked it but everyone else was not that crazy about it! I probably won’t make this again!
I thought the flavor was good for this recipe, but the proportion sizes were off. Since the servings were only for 4, I made it in an 11x7x1″ pan. In my opinion, you would only need 8 oz. of noodles, and as I like a saucier lasagna, I would double the white sauce. Everything else seemed to be accurate. It’s the type of recipe you can play around with and adjust to your preferences.
I took the advice from some others and made more sauce, adding some parmesan cheese and a chicken bouillon. I thought it was wonderful and not too much work. Will cook about 5 less noodles next time.
Great idea for turkey leftovers. The white sauce defenitely needs to be more than called for. I added chicken stock and cream, just what I had left in the fridge, as well as Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme and Savory to add flavor. If you use the noodles that have to cooked first in water you might not need to increase the white sauce. I also liked the idea of adding other vegetables according to taste.
This recipe is only worth 4 1/2 stars if you make all of the changes suggested by reviewers, such as doubling the sauce, I added the mustard powder and cayenne pepper in my sauce. I also added spinach and pea. As it stands it needs help! Thank you so much to all those who submit reviews and for sharing recipes 🙂
The only complaint I have is the one that others have mentioned.. not enough sauce. But besides that this is creative delicious way to do away with all that left over turkey. I added basil and Italian seasoning. Took away the broccoli and added mushrooms and carrots. Its a fun recipe to play with. Family approved.
VERY GOOD!!!
Delicious recipe to use up leftover turkey. After reading the reviews, I decided to double the white sauce, and I’m glad with my decision. I also added some red bell pepper, as I had one large one that needed to be used. My family enjoyed this with a simple green salad and garlic bread. You do need to let it “rest” the 10-15 minutes before serving. I actually liked the leftovers the next day better than the night I served it. I would make this again when I have leftover turkey or chicken.
This was lovely though you would need to make more sauce. I used fresh turkey fillets and chopped and fried them with some smoked bacon. and i added some peas with the brocolli. I used a jar of lasgna sauce as i had it there but you would need to either use a couple of jars or use it supplement the fresh sauce. over all lovely recipe and the whole loved .Will definately make again but with more sauce.
This was delicious! My family couldn’t get enough of it!!! YUM
Triple the sauce and use cooked lasagna noodles rather than oven ready ones and this recipe would be great!
