Don’t scratch your head and wonder what to do with leftover turkey this Thanksgiving. Use it to create delicious turkey spinach lasagna rolls.
Thanksgiving is always a great time of year for family. But it also means there is typically a lot of leftover turkey. Instead of wondering what to do with leftover turkey, go ahead and grab a few recipes, like these turkey spinach lasagna rolls, to use it.
I originally created this recipe as a spinach lasagna recipe. But, I love making lasagna roll ups instead because they cook so much faster and are great for serving easily too.
Ingredients for Turkey Spinach Lasagna Rolls
- Butter – I prefer salted butter but use whatever you have on hand.
- Flour
- Milk – Whole milk or 2% milk work best.
- Broth – Chicken, turkey, or vegetable work great here.
- Dijon Mustard
- Jarlsberg Cheese
- Lasagna Noodles – Be sure to get regular lasagna noodles and not the no boil kind.
- Chopped Spinach – I use frozen chopped spinach that I thaw. You can cook fresh spinach but you don’t want it to be raw.
- Turkey – Shredded or cubed cooked turkey both work great. This is perfect for leftover turkey from the holidays.
- Swiss Cheese
How to Make Lasagna Rolls
Lasagna rolls are so easy to make. The full instructions can be found below in the printable recipe card but here is a brief overview.
- Start by cooking the lasagna noodles and then lay them out on a flat surface.
2. Top with filling which, in this recipe, includes turkey, chopped spinach, and cheese. Try not to overstuff with filling because it will make them difficult to roll up. I use shredded Swiss cheese for these turkey spinach lasagna rolls. You could substitute a cheddar if you prefer.
3. Once you have all the ingredients in, you simply roll the noodle to create the spinach lasagna roll up.
4. Once you have the roll ups complete, you will make a cheese sauce that gets ladled into the bottom of the baking dish and then also on top of the rolls. Top with cheese before baking.
These turkey spinach lasagna roll ups are freezer friendly too! You could stop at this point and freeze until you wanted to enjoy them. If not, pop them in oven for a delicious dinner!
