Check out my rolled lasagna creation - it's a fun twist on the classic Italian dish that always gets rave reviews. Each roll is stuffed with a tasty mix of ricotta, mozzarella and seasoned ground turkey. They taste even better the next day, if you can wait that long!
Fresh Creative Twist
What I love about these rolled lasagnas is how they pack all the traditional flavors but with a fun, clever presentation. Each lasagna sheet gets rolled around a creamy filling, making individual portions that are super easy to serve. The combo of turkey, cheeses and marinara sauce makes a comforting meal that everyone in the family goes crazy for.
What You'll Need For The Rolls
- 12 lasagna sheets: Regular or gluten-free work fine
- 500g ground turkey: Lean and flavorful, perfect for stuffing
- 250g ricotta cheese: For that smooth, creamy filling
- 200g shredded mozzarella: Split between filling and topping
- 50g grated parmesan: For that bold flavor kick
- 1 beaten egg: To bind everything together
- 500ml marinara sauce: Homemade is my first choice
- Seasonings: Garlic powder, dried basil, oregano, salt and pepper
Easy Step-By-Step Method
- Getting ready
- I heat my oven to 190°C and cook the lasagna sheets, then lay them out on parchment paper.
- Cooking turkey
- I brown the ground turkey over medium heat until it's fully cooked, then drain off any extra fat.
- Making filling
- In a bowl, I mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, seasonings and cooked turkey.
- Rolling up
- I spread a thin layer of filling on each lasagna sheet, gently roll it up, and place it in my baking dish.
- Topping off
- I pour marinara sauce over everything and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.
- Baking time
- I cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then another 15 minutes uncovered to get that golden top.
- Wrapping up
- I let it cool for a few minutes before bringing it to the table.

Tasty Twists
I often switch things up with this recipe. Sometimes I swap turkey for beef or Italian sausage for extra richness. I'll throw in veggies like spinach or zucchini in the filling too. For an extra creamy version, I sometimes mix Alfredo sauce with my marinara. It's really a dish you can play around with however you want!
