"Invented" by my wife after Thanksgiving 07....

Beth's Turkey and Spinach Lasagna

6 cups, more or less, turkey, cubed
1 package lasagna noodles, prepared as directed
10 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 shallots, chopped
8 oz sliced mushrooms, white or crimini
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
2 bottles alfredo sauce, your choice of flavors
1 medium tomato, well chopped
2 Tbsp Parsley
2 eggs
16 oz Ricotta cheese
8 oz Mozarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesian cheese
1/2 tsp Seasoned Pepper

Prepare the noodles as directed.
Saute the garlic and shallots in the butter. When about halfway done, add the mushrooms and cook 3 more minutes.
Mix the turkey, mushroom mix, ricotta, parmesian, parsley, eggs, half of the Mozarella and pepper in a bowl. You can add the Alfredo sauces too, or pour them on separately.
Place a layer of noodles on the bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 12 casserole pan.
Add a layer of the cheese mixture, then a layer of spinach, then more pasta. Add Alfredo sauce if not already mixed in.
Repeat until you run out of room. Top with the remaining Mozarella... use more if you desire! Sprinkle the chopped tomato and a bit of spinach on top, and pop it into the oven.
350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Uncover, cook 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.

"This delectable way to consume those bits and pieces of turkey is not only good, but was also invented by a Phd in Plant Science. After much research and testing, she determined that the ingredients were maximally balanced to provide the right proportions of nap-inducing l-triptophane and B vitamins, known to be the key ingredients in those massively popular energy drinks, which means that....

YOU CAN PIG OUT AND STILL DRIVE HOME!"

hahaha...well, she IS a Phd in botany... and we DID test it..once... and I THINK there are B vitamins in spinach... ;) ;)

BUT.. if you ask her, she will tell you that those energy drinks might not be too safe in the long run LOL

(sorry, I ramble sometimes...)
