Lasagna Florentine Recipe

Name: Lasagna Florentine
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 9 -12 uncooked lasagna noodles (I find that 12 works best if you want the lasagna to hold better during serving); 1 1/4 lbs lean ground turkey; 2 teaspoons minced garlic; 1 teaspoon italian seasoning; 26 ounces spaghetti sauce; 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes; 15 ounces ricotta cheese; 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided; 1 egg, slightly beaten; 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained (I often buy fresh spinach leaves, trim off the stems, and saute them for a few minutes instead); 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
