| Our family has recently made the switch
| |
| | 8 uncooked lasagna noodles
|
| from ground beef to
| |
| | 1 (12-oz.) carton cottage or Ricotta
|
| ground turkey. With ground beef more
| |
| | cheese
|
| than $2 a pound, we had
| |
| | 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shreddedIn a
|
| basically quit eating hamburger for
| |
| | large skillet, cook onion, garlic, and
|
| quite some time. On a recent
| |
| | turkey in oil until
|
| trip to the grocery store I noticed that

| | turkey is cooked through. Add tomatoes
|
| ground turkey was HALF
| |
| | with liquid, tomato
|
| the price of ground beef, about $1 a
| |
| | paste, and Italian seasoning. Bring to
|
| pound. I decided to give it
| |
| | a boil, reduce heat and
|
| a try, and our family loved the ground
| |
| | simmer for 20 minutes, stirring
