To make this ground turkey lasagna I used a combination of white sauce and turkey sauce, the result is a super creamy, velvety lasagna that’s really amazing.
If you don’t have enough time you can just make it with the turkey sauce. You can find more Weight Watchers Turkey Recipes here.
I like to finish it with only mozzarella cheese, but you can also top it with extra parmesan cheese.
Also, you can freeze it! Just follow all the directions and wrap it with plastic wrap before baking. Once you are ready to serve it, take it directly from the freezer to the oven and bake for around 1 hour and a half.
