Spicy Turkey and  Mushroom Lasagne

Serves: 4
Approximate cost per serving: £1.73
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes

Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
500g minced turkey
1 onion, chopped
1 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2 celery sticks, chopped
100g mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
500g jar DOLMIO Tomato Sauce for Lasagne
6 lasagne sheets (weighing about 100g)
470g jar DOLMIO Creamy Sauce for Lasagne
75g grated Cheddar and mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C / fan oven 170°C / Gas 5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan and add the minced turkey a handful at a time, cooking over a high heat until seared and browned – about 3-4 minutes. Add the onion, chilli, celery and mushrooms and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often. Tip in the DOLMIO Tomato Sauce for Lasagne, stir and bring to the boil, then remove from the heat.
  2. Tip half the mince mixture into a large rectangular baking dish, measuring about 26cm x 20cm. Arrange 3 lasagne sheets on top, then spread half the DOLMIO Creamy Sauce for Lasagne over them. Repeat the layers, then sprinkle the grated Cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the surface.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until cooked and golden. Stand for a few minutes, then serve.

Leftover ideas and tips: If you love garlic, add a couple of crushed garlic cloves to the mince mixture with the other vegetables. Make sure that you choose lasagne sheets that don’t need pre-cooking (most varieties sold are ready-to-use).

If you like, substitute pork mince for the turkey mince, or for a vegetarian alternative, use Quorn mince instead of turkey. Remember, turkey mince is low in fat, and the extra vegetables used in the recipe help towards your 5-a-day quota. Cool any leftovers quickly, then keep them covered and refrigerated – reheating them thoroughly the next day until piping hot.
