Sumptuous Turkey and Sausage Cheese Lasagna

Ingredients

- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 lb pork sausage
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Noodles:
Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain them and set aside.

3. Cook the Meat Mixture:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onion; sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey and pork sausage. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking the meat into crumbles, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the marinara sauce, dried basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

4. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, goat cheese, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Mix until well combined and creamy.

5. Assemble the Lasagna:
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce.
- Place 3 lasagna noodles on top.
- Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the remaining meat sauce.
- Sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layers (noodles, cheese mixture, meat sauce, mozzarella) ending with a final layer of noodles, meat sauce, mozzarella cheese, and the remaining Parmesan cheese.

6. Bake:
Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes.

7. Final Touches:
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

8. Rest and Serve:
Allow the lasagna to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
