Lasagna

          This recipe for a different kind of lasagna was found in a package of ground turkey. I make two pans every Christmas and there are never any leftovers. I usually double the ground turkey, only because I like my lasagna thicker.



          Turkey Lasagna


              1 pkg. ground turkey
              6 tbsp. margarine, divided
              1/2 cup chopped onion
              6 lasagna noodles
              2 tbsp. flour
              1 cup chicken broth
              (or 1/2 cup broth & 1/2 cup dry white wine)
              1/2 cup heavy cream
              1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
              Dash nutmeg
              3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

          In a lg. skillet, over med. heat, melt 2 tbsp. margarine and brown the turkey and onions. Reserve.

Spoon over remaining cream sauce and sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
          Cut into squares and serve.
