Ingredients

For the Roll Ups

  • 1/2 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 6 lasagna noodles

For The Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Wash and pierce the sweet potato with a fork. Place it on a pan in a preheated 400 degree f oven to bake for 50 minutes to an hour.
    1 sweet potato
  • While the sweet potato is baking, start the water for the pasta. Add 6 lasagna noodles to the boiling water and cook for 8 minutes, drain and rinse in cold water.
    6 lasagna noodles
  • While the pasta is cooking, brown 1 pound of ground turkey with two cloves of chopped garlic. Once the turkey is cooked, turn the heat off.
    1/2 pound ground turkey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 cloves garlic
  • Shred the Parmesan cheese and set it aside.
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Once the sweet potato(es) are cooked set them aside to cool
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan with the garlic. Once the butter is melted, add the remaining garlic. Turn the heat to low and stir in  3 tablespoons of flour to form a roux which is a paste.
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 cloves garlic
  • Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of milk by 1/2 cup increments at a time. Stir often. Once the sauce begins to thicken add more milk until the sauce has thickened. Add the nutmeg and reduce the heat to low heat to keep the sauce warm.
    2 cups milk
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese and turn the heat off.
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees f
  • Carefully slice the sweet potatoes in half, scoop out the pulp with a spoon and add it to the pan with the turkey.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and mix all of the ingredients together.
    1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • Arrange the cooked lasagna noodles on a piece of parchment or a board and add approximately 3 tablespoons of the filling to the top of each lasagna noodle. I like to make separate piles of the filling so that it's easier to spread instead of one big one.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread the filling so that it covers about 3/4 of the noodle and roll it up.
  • Place 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of an 8X8  baking dish and place the lasagna rolls on top of the sauce.
  • Pour the remaining sauce on top of the lasagna rolls, cover and  and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 10 minutes longer.
