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.

Lasagna rolls are so easy to make. You start by cooking the lasagna noodles and then you layer the ingredients on top before rolling.

The inside of these spinach lasagna roll ups has a mixture of leftover turkey, chopped spinach and cheese.

I use shredded Swiss cheese for these turkey spinach lasagna rolls. You could substitute a cheddar if you prefer.

Once you have all the ingredients in, you simply roll the noodle to create the spinach lasagna roll up.

The sauce for these turkey spinach lasagna roll ups is a delicious cheese sauce. A small amount gets ladled into the bottom of the baking dish before the lasagna rolls are added.

The remaining cheese is added on top before more shreded cheese is added. Then, the rolls get baked.

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!
