Return to Spinach Recipes Index

• Ingredients:
• 8 dry lasagna noodles
• 1 pound ground turkey or chicken
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 (10-1/2 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, cooked and well drained
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 beaten eggs
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 3/4 cup mozarella cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• 3 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
• 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Method:

Cook lasagna noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, rinse with cold water and drain again. Set aside.

In a large skillet cook ground meat and onion until turkey is no longer pink, crumbling meat with a fork as it cooks. Drain fat. Stir in cooked and well-drained spinach.

In a mixing bowl stir together eggs, ricotta, mozzarella cheese and thyme; stir in the turkey mixture. Divide filling mixture into 8 equal portions. Spread a portion over each lasagna noodle; roll up each noodle, starting with the short side. Place the filled rolls, seam side down, in an 11-7 inch baking dish. Spoon sauce over the rolls.

Cover the dish with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven about 30 minutes or till heated through. Uncover and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Makes 8 main-dish servings of delicious Turkey and Spinach-Filled Lasagna Rollups.
