Easy and yummy! But I forgot the oregano! 😂 Still turned out great though.
I don’t know about using turkey… I feel like it’s not as good as the traditional meat lasagna. Just saying.
I get what you’re saying! Traditional beef lasagna has its charm. But turkey is leaner, so maybe give it a chance? You might be surprised!
Turkey? Is that even lasagna? Sounds like a good way to ruin a classic dish if you ask me!
This lasagna is incredible! The turkey makes it a healthier option without compromising on flavor. My family loved it!
I’m glad to hear your family loved it! Turkey lasagna sounds healthier indeed, and I bet it was delicious with all that cheese. I can’t wait to try this myself!
I dunno about this turkey thing. Turkey in lasagna? Seems kinda weird. I stick to the classic beef, ya know? But if your fam liked it, that’s cool.
