I changed this just a little bit. I used a 9X13 glass pan. 2 1/2 lbs. of ground turkey with spices. I layered it as such:hamburg,mushroom and sauce mixture. Then a layer of parmesan cheese slices. A layer of ricotta cheese. A layer of pepperoni. And so forth until all meat sauce was gone. Topped it off with shredded parmesan cheese. Was excellent!! And very tasty!!

Wonderful!!! We left out the pepperoni, added a little oregano & maybe a little more ricotta, and everyone loved it, even my carb-loving husband!!
