Whether you call this lasagna or not, I call it good! I wanted to make it vegetarian, so I replaced the ground turkey with an equal amount of diced crimini mushrooms which worked really well. I used roasted red pepper marinara sauce and just baked for 20 minutes uncovered which worked great. Thanks for the recipe!

Lasagna is made with wide lasagna pasta. This recipe of yours may be tasty, but it should not be called lasagna.
