Cheesy Turkey Lasagna

Leftover Turkey, Main Dish, Recipe, , , ,

We’re bracing for a blizzard again in Iowa.   This has been an exceptionally cold winter, but our snowfall total has been low.  Normally, we would be thrilled about below-average snow fall.  But parts of our state experienced a drought two years in a row, so we need the moisture that snow provides. 

The snow is bringing more bitter cold temperatures with it.  But don’t worry, our turkeys will be safe and warm inside our barns.

And this Cheesy Turkey Lasagna (with spinach!) will keep you warm, as well!
