It is often important to remember that turkey, my friends, it not just for Thanksgiving deal. In fact, you can eat turkey all year long in so many different ways. One of our favorite ways to eat it is in lasagna. I use healthy ground turkey from the store and use it like I do ground beef in lasagna. It is such a great cozy winter meal and is so perfect for the cold weather. So, don’t worry, you don’t have to kiss turkey goodbye until next year. Here is how you can make turkey lasagna this winter!

5. Bake the lasagna at 350 degrees F for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until it is bubbly and it is hot all the way through.
