(This is an old recipe that has been removed from my site, but I am leaving the printer-friendly version here for anyone who might have been a fan of the recipe. There’s also a Printer Friendly Recipe for original version from 2006 if you enjoyed that richer version!)

(About 8 servings, adapted from a recipe for chicken lasagna from Kalyn’s Aunt Ruth Ann.)

Ingredients:
3 cups homemade turkey stock, simmered until reduced to 2 cups (or use chicken stock or canned chicken broth, which should also be reduced)
5-6 cups diced, cooked turkey (or chicken)
16 oz. container reduced-fat sour cream
1 1/2 cups turkey gravy (can use gravy from a jar or cream of chicken soup if you don’t have leftover gravy)
1 cup good quality coarsely-grated Parmesan cheese (I would use 3/4 cup if you only have finely-grated Parmesan)
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
3 T finely chopped fresh sage, or more (or use about 1 T dried rubbed sage)
1 pkg. lasagna noodles 
1 1/2 cups grated low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated low fat cheddar cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 F/190C.

Put 3 cups turkey stock in large pan and simmer until reduced to 2 cups. While stock reduces, dice leftover turkey and finely chop sage.

When the stock has reduced, let cool for a minute and then whisk in the gravy, sour cream, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder and simmer about 5 minutes without letting it come to a boil.  Turn off heat and stir in one cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese and the diced turkey.

Spray a 12″ x 9″ casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray, then make a single layer of dry lasagna noodles.   

Spoon half the sauce over noodles. (It will look like a lot of liquid, but don’t worry.) 

Sprinkle over half the mozzarella cheese and half the cheddar cheese.

Make another layer of dry lasagna noodles, then top with rest of sauce, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.  Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake one hour.

After an hour, remove foil and bake 30-45 minutes more, or until noodles are soft when tested with a fork, lasagna is bubbling, and cheese is melted and slightly browned.

Let sit 10-15 minutes, then serve.
