This recipe was given to me by a friend who made it using a store-bought marinara sauce. I created a homemade sauce and it has been a big hit whenever I serve it, especially at potlucks and bring a dish gatherings. —Sheri Oganowski, Dayton, Ohio
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
1 pound johnsonville® mild ground italian sausage
3/4 cup chopped sweet onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes, undrained
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons dried parsley flakes, divided
2 teaspoons dried basil
3 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 cup dry red wine or beef broth
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2-1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 package (9 ounces) no-cook lasagna noodles
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook the turkey, sausage, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, sugar, 2 tablespoons parsley, basil, 2 teaspoons oregano and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Add wine; cook 15 minutes longer.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cheeses and the remaining parsley, oregano and salt.
3. Spread 2-1/4 cups meat mixture into a 6-qt. slow cooker. Arrange five noodles over sauce, breaking to fit if necessary. Spread 1-1/3 cups cheese mixture over noodles. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining meat mixture.
4. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until noodles are tender. Yield: 10 servings.
