I was strategic and made all three recipes at the same time. When I opened the package of ground turkey I used 1/2 cup or 1/4 lb of ground turkey for the turkey burger and a little over 1/2 cup of ground turkey for the meatballs. I used the little bit of remaining ground turkey for the lasagna.

Turkey Vegetable Lasagna- I actually got the idea for this recipe from the cashier at Trader Joe's. She was asking if I making an italian dish with the ingredients I bought and said that since I wasn't buying pasta she thought I might be using the grilled vegetables to replace lasagna noodles. I thought using the grilled vegetables in place of lasagna noodles sounded like a great idea so I decided to make up my own version of vegetable lasagna! here was the recipe I created:
Turkey Vegetable Lasagna 2 servings Ingredients 1/2 cup ground turkey 1/2 cup of tomato sauce 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Trader Joe's Misto alla Griglia Recipe 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 2. Brown the ground turkey 3. Microwave 2 pieces of the eggplant and 4 zucchini pieces for 2 minutes 4. Layer 1 piece of eggplant and 2 pieces of zucchini in a baking dish lined with aluminum foil 5. Top the layer of vegetables with ground turkey and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese 6. Top of the ground turkey and cheese with the remaining vegetables and top with the tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of mozzarella. 7. Put the lasagna in the oven for 7-10 minutes, the lasagna is done with the cheese is melted. Feta Basil Turkey Burgers Recipe courtesy of: Fifteen Spatulas I cut the recipe in half since I only wanted to make one turkey burger. I decided to serve the turkey burger with sweet potato fries and two grilled eggplant slices instead of using a burger bun. Feta and Spinach Turkey Meatballs Recipe courtesy of: The Hungry Lightweight I cut this recipe in half, which made 8 meatballs. I served this along with whole wheat pasta and garlic bread. |
