Taco Lasagna is a flavorful Mexican dish that combines layers of ground turkey, beans, corn, and cheese with no-boil lasagna noodles for a delicious twist on traditional lasagna.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) sweet corn, drained
  • 1 can (10 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 9 sheets of no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 avocado, diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey with the chopped bell pepper and minced garlic for 6-8 minutes until the turkey is no longer pink and the bell pepper is tender. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the chili powder, pinto beans, sweet corn, and fire-roasted tomatoes to the skillet, stirring well. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Prepare the no-boil lasagna noodles according to the package instructions and set aside.
  5. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of the turkey mixture on the bottom.
  6. Place 3 sheets of lasagna noodles over the meat layer.
  7. Spoon 1/3 of the Greek yogurt on top of the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the turkey mixture, and then sprinkle 1/3 of both the pepper jack and mozzarella cheeses.
  8. Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
  9. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden hue.
  11. Allow the dish to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding diced jalapeños or black olives to the turkey mixture.
  • You can substitute ground turkey with beef or a plant-based alternative.
  • Top with diced avocado or extra parsley just before serving for added freshness.
