I made it the first time on Super Bowl Sunday with sweet italian sausage (the turkey sausage was all gone) and it was excellent. The 3 cheese blend makes it better than any other lasagna recipe. I also made it for Christmas Eve with Turkey sausage and it was just as delicious.

I have been saving this turkey lasagna recipe for several months. I finally made it for my sister's birthday dinner. It was a HUGE hit - loaded with great flavors and "off the hook" delicious. I will make this again in the near future. Thank you Ina Garten for a great recipe.

Christmas Day this was our main coures. Easy but a bit of time and the result was absolutely great. Guests, six, not only raved but finished everything. The sausage was a turkey, chicken mix, but went well. I did need the larger skillet. The goat cheese came through and added a surprise taste. An Ina Fan!

I wanted to make something for Christmas Eve to make for my finicky-eaters at my house. Never having made lasagna before, I was a bit dizzied by the variety of methods out there. Ina's recipe is a thoughtful variation, cutting out the fuss and adding good flavor. Even managed to sneak in some spinach in the ricotta mixture for the green-shy boyfriend...still, an absolute hit. Thanks Ina!
Unbelievable! The best.

I really like this version of lasagna. My family likes the cheesiness and I like that it is not as fattening as regular lasagna can be. I usually use ground turkey in place of the turkey sausage because I don't really notice a change in flavor and ground turkey is cheaper! I also use the no-boil noodles without incident. Very good, Ina!

I was surprised at how well this turned out even with all my substitutions. I ran out of yellow onions and used red, I cannot stand goat cheese and all I could find was Asiago, then I had to sub the turkey sausage to chicken sausage using both sweet and spicy. It was wonderful. My husband loved it.

I have made this lasagna a couple of times and it was so good--I never thought to change a thing. The last time that I made it, my husband, a true carnivore, requested that I leave out the sausage so that he could taste more of the goat cheese. It was still very filling and delicious. This would be great for company. It freezes well too!

This is by far the most tasty lasagna you will ever cook. I use her red sause recipe for just about every pasta recipe I have. Even if you don't like goat cheese, you will love what it adds to the ricotta mixture. I've also substituted the turkey sausage with both ground beef and sweet italian sausage and got fantastic results both times! This recipe is a keeper!

This recipe was outstanding! I served it with one of Emeril's salads that had "herb-vinagrette", hearts of palm, avocado, etc... it was delightful! A bottle of Clos DuBois Zinfandel also pairs very well with the goat cheese included in this recipe. I would definitely bake this again, especially for a large crowd because the recipe is likely to feed about 10 guests.

I am a chef, and decided to try this out because the goat cheese sounded interesting. The recipe is fantastic. The only thing I had to add was a little tomato sauce, as I prefer a saucier lasagna. Flavor wise, this is excellently balanced, and has now taken the place of my own recipe.

User: TRACI from Sugar Land, TX User Rating:
You really DON'T have to cook the pasta beforehand. Soaking it as Ina does will work just fine. The trick to not having any dried out or tough edges is making sure every inch of the pasta is covered in sauce. You may have to make extra sauce. I am confident this works because for years I have made lasagna according to a recipe on the back of Skinner brand lasagna pasta named "Virginia's Easy Lasagna" and it does not call to cook the pasta AT ALL, not even soaking it in water or anything. My lasagna has always turned out beautiful with soft, fully cooked through noodles. As long as you ensure the pasta is completely covered in sauce, this works! Promise!

I loved this! I usually use Italian turkey sausage because it's much leaner, but I've never blended goat cheese with the ricotta. It was a great new flavor to add to lasagna. One tip: I would boil the lasagna noodles as per package directions, instead of simply soaking them as Ina suggests. I don't think they get as tender when you soak them; mine were still tough around the edges.
Excellent!

My friends and family have been loving my lasagna for over 25 years. Last night I had the delight of making this fabulous new recipe and serving it to my friends. It was so easy to prepare and the turkey sausage was a new experience in lasagna for me, so I was curious! It turned out perfect - a beautifully layered and wonderfully delicious meal. Their comments: "this goes way beyond lasagna. This IS the best lasagna you have ever made. Where did you get this recipe?" My reply, "Barefoot Contessa." Their response, "that explains it!" And it does! Thank you, Ina. Connie

I made 2 of this recipe and put them in the freezer. I took one out last night and popped it in the oven to heat for dinner. Oh My. It was so good. The presentation was perfect with all the cheeses melted and lightly browned and tomatos and sauce topping it all. I let it rest for about 5 min before cutting and it held together great. It was very good, but I think I will leave out the goat cheese next time as I like a more traditional taste and the goat cheese added an out of place taste to my palate. A winner even with that draw back. It was easy to make and always good to have a spare lasagna in the freezer!

Once again, Ina adds a fantastic recipe to my collection. Note, a lot of people complain that her dishes are too salty, but I believe they are using table salt and not "kosher" salt, as most of her recipes state. Tsp for tsp, table salt is MUCH saltier than kosher. Could that be the problem?

Good filling, bad noodles
07/25/2007 at 10:31am
User: Anonymous User Rating:
I am surprised that everyone gave this lasagna such rave reviews. I agree the filling is good, and the goat cheese added to the ricotta is good, but the mechanism used to "cook" the noodles simply does not work, unless you get boiling water out of your tap. I tried it as an experiment cause I agree the hardest part of making lasagna is cooking the noodles and then not lettnig them get overcooked when they bake, but this method of soaking them in hot water did not cook the noodles at all, it just made them limp and mushy! Part of what is tasty about lasagna is a good pasta, and I was sooo disappointed at how these turned out, though I followed the procedure exactly. I will continue to use turkey filling and goat cheese mixed with ricotta, but next time I will defintely cook the noodles in boiling water like you are suppose to.

this is an excellent lasagna recipe. I'm Italian, and nothing beats Grandmas homemade lasagna - but this comes very close! I used Barilla no-boil lasagna sheets that are especially made to be like homemade (thin, no ruffles on the edges) and the end product got raves! THe fresh herbs and sweet Italian turkey sausage make all the difference. I used part-skim mozarella and low-fat ricotta to keep it a little more figure friendly, and I do not think it compromised the taste. I could not taste enough goat cheese for my liking - so next time I will add more. Thanks Ina!!

There are so many flavors in this dish that you cannot tell this is turkey. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in this dish to prepare it. You wont be disappointed. This taste just as good as any lasagna dish that you would order at a fine italian restaurant.

I did not use the turkey sausage (instead used natural angus beef) and skipped the goat cheese and fresh mozzarella (i was on a budget this week) and substituted shredded mozzarella for both of those cheeses. however, this recipe still turned out amazingly delicious. the sauce really makes the recipe outstanding. the cheese was just enough and the leftovers are perfect the next day. i did not cook the pasta, just soaked it in hot water as directed and can vouch for the fact that it is an excellent and time saving way to make the noodles.

I have been making Lasagna for many years and everybody has loved it. When I made this recipe we all SWOONED. It really was that good. The only change I made was I doubled the amount of garlic. I'm throwing out my old recipe!

My sisters and I made this for a friend, and it was a huge hit. We used quite a bit more basil in the sauce because we're basil addicts. We loved all the different cheeses as well. We will definitely make this again and again!!

this lasagna was easy to make and was the best lasagna I ever tasted. I made it for my boyfriend who couldn't stop telling me how much he loved me afterwards. I took some to work and gave it to my friend. She is not a lasagna lover but could not believe how good it was. she begged for the recipe and now owes me a favor! :)

She did it again! This is the best lasagna I have ever eaten. It is simple to make and so well worth buying the real deal mozzarella and I did not use turkey sausage, but did use sweet Italian sausage. This is incredible. The recipe is in one of her books, which I have, and never made until I saw it on the Foodnetwork. Duh! :-) Thanks again Ina for another fantastic recipe!!!

I love Ina's recipes and this one was no exception. This yummy one-dish meal is great exactly as-is, but I would consider making another half batch of sauce to have some extra on the side. And, the cheese filling was *just* enough, but I would probably make another half recipe of that next time too, as well as add another 1/2 lb. of mozzarella. I made my top layer with lasagna noodles (using a total of 12 noodles total). I also put a few slices of mozzarella on top of the finished lasagna. Used Italian-style chicken sausage and it was very good. Like the addition of goat cheese, which I didn't find too strong at all. All in all, a very nice lasagna recipe.

I made this lasagna for Mom on Mother's Day. She loved it so much she had seconds! I also used regular Italian sausage, as I couldn't find turkey sausage. I also used the readymade lasagna noodles, and I would't recommend using them. They turned out a little too al-dente.

It was very good, I'm not a huge lasagna fan but I made it b/c of all the wonderful reviews. I made the sauce one day and put it together the next so it was simple to make (in 2 steps). I did buy no boil lasagna shells b/c I was concerend about the few people who said theirs was crunchy still. I would definitely make this again (in the cold weather months)

I made this for a finals week dinner I cooked for my daughter's sorority house.

It was a real hit and a good choice for a mixed group (several of the girls don't eat pork).

I loved this recipe except for one part the suggestion to only cook the noodles in hot tap water did not work for me at all! The Lasagna was ruined because the noodles never cooked through and were basically uncooked leaving them with no flavor. If only I had boiled the noodles like I normally do it would have been outstanding! I'm waiting for the energy to make this recipe again and this time with the boiled cooked noodles. It was heart breaking and embarrassing!

The goat cheese makes this dish a little different than a normal lasagna. I used spicy pork sausage and left out the parsley but everyone still loved it. I didn't time things well so my pasta was in the water a little too long. So I just used up the rest of the box with only 5 mins in the water and it worked well.

This is the best lasagna I have ever had -- I make it with either a mixture of ground turkey breast and turkey sausage or with a mixture of ground beef and pork sausage and it is excellent either way.
