Upgrade your basic lasagna recipe by adding a béchamel sauce.
In a large stock pot, add ground turkey meat with seasonings. I don't measure out my seasoning I just put a little bit of each of the following: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. and brown the meat.
Place onion and garlic in food processor. If you don't have a food processor (get you one soon lol), but finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Add garlic and onion to the pot with the meat, and let cook for about 4 minutes. Stirring occasionally until onions are cooked.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Stir
Add chopped basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper
Bring mixture to a slight boil, and add wine.
Lower heat, and let the sauce simmer for a minimum of an hour. Make sure to stir frequently to avoid any burning. The longer you let this simmer, the more flavorful your sauce will turn out. I let mine simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
Add butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foaming.
Add the flour and cook, constantly whisking for about 1 minute.
Whisk in the warm milk 1/2 cup at a time. Bring the sauce to a boil, and reduce heat and simmer.
Whisk the mixture often until it is the consistency of cream. This process will take about 8-9 minute. Add in the fresh nutmeg, garlic, pepper, and salt. Turn off heat and stir in the mozzarella one cup at a time, until melted (if it doesn't entirely melt, turn back the heat on a low setting and stir until just melted and smooth). Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool. *If making ahead of time, you can chill until ready to use.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package, make sure not to overcook the noodles. You want this al dente especially since this is going to continue to bake in the oven.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat your 13X9 dish with butter
Add 1/4 cup béchamel to the bottom of the dish. Top with a layer of noodles, spread a light coating about 3/4 cup of sauce, then about 1/2 cup of the béchamel sauce and top with 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Repeat this process 7 more times. You will have a total of 8 layers starting with the noodles and ending with the Parmesan cheese.
Cover the lasagna with foil and place the baking dish on top of a baking sheet. Bake the lasagna until it starts bubbling about 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top of the lasagna begins to brown. Let lasagna sit for 45 minutes before serving.
You can NOW finally enjoy this dish!
