Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package no boil lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked smoked turkey ham, diced
- 1½ cups cooked turkey, diced
- 3 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 sheet thawed puff pastry
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups whole milk
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 egg
- confectioners sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Step: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Step: In a medium saucepan preheated to medium heat, melt six tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and whisk until the flour is cooked out and you have roux. Gradually add the milk and nutmeg. Whisk until the sauce has thickened about five minutes. Stir in a little salt and pepper too.
- Step: Spray a standard 13X9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour 1/3 cup of the white sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Then grab 3 noodles and place them over the sauce. Then spread 1 cup of the white sauce over the noodles and top it with 1/2 cup smoked turkey ham, 1/2 cup turkey, and 1 cup Swiss cheese. Repeat layering 2 more times!!
- Step: On the final layer of noodles, pour any remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Next, top the lasagna with a sheet of puff pastry. In a small bowl, whisk an egg and brush the top of the puff pastry with the egg wash. Make sure to make two or three small cuts in the puff pastry to keep it from rising.
- Step: Bake lasagna for about 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving and dusting with confectioners sugar!
