The Tangy Cheese Ina Garten Uses To Elevate Turkey Lasagna
Lasagna is the perfect dish to whip up if you want something easy to make that won’t require too much prep time. However, sometimes the end product can be a little lackluster. Garten’s twist on this recipe will help to ensure your next pasta will be anything but bland. The famous cook showcased her recipe for turkey lasagna on Food Network’s “Barefoot Contessa”, which includes staple items like onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. But then she takes out a package of goat cheese and explains, “I know it’s unusual in a lasagna, but I think it gives it great flavor.”
Garten says she takes the goat cheese and crumbles it right into the ricotta before making the layers of her turkey lasagna. One fan that made her pasta dish wrote on Food Network that it’s their family’s favorite recipe and they make it every year for Christmas Eve dinner. Another reviewer added, “I’ve made this many times and it is always delicious.” But if this hasn’t convinced you just yet to give goat cheese in your lasagna a try, Jonesin for Taste also recommends the earthy ingredient, noting that it’s great for those that are lactose intolerant because this type of cheese can be easier to tolerate.
Sounds like a win-win to us!
