Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- ½ yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 10 ounces baby kale
cheesy béchamel
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan
- salt and pepper to taste
assembly
- 18 pasta sheets, parboiled about 5 minutes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and divided
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella
- 3 small vines cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in 2 tablespoons oil, add onion and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue to saute for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add turkey, breaking up with a wooden spoon and brown for 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer turkey mixture to a mixing bowl and set aside.
- Place skillet back stove and lower heat to medium. Add remaining tablespoon of oil and kale and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until kale has just wilted. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to another mixing bowl.
- Using the back of a wooden spoon, press kale and drain excess liquid from kale.
- Place skillet over stove for a final time and lower heat to medium-low. Add butter and melt.
- Sprinkle flour over butter and stir together with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes to remove raw flavor of the flour.
- Slowly add milk, while stirring, until all milk has been added. Continue to stir mixture together until completely smooth and mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and sprinkle Parmesan over mixture and stir together until smooth and creamy.
- To assemble: Preheat oven to 375˚F.
- Lightly grease 3 (6”) skillets with 1 tablespoon butter each. Pour a heaping spoonful of béchamel over each skillet and top each skillet with 2 pasta sheets, slightly overlapped.
- Top pasta sheets with ¼ heaping cup of ground turkey, followed by a thin layer of kale. Pour about 3 tablespoons béchamel and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella over kale. Repeat with another layer of pasta sheets, turkey, kale, béchamel, and mozzarella. Top each skillet with 2 more pasta sheets remaining béchamel and shredded mozzarella. Finish each skillet with a vine of cherry tomatoes and place onto a large baking sheet.
- Bake skillets for about 30 minutes or until bubbling and slightly browned on top. Remove from heat and allow lasagnas to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
