Ingredients:
-
1 lb. ground chicken or turkey
-
16 oz. alfredo sauce

2 cups ricotta cheese
-
1 egg
-
1 tsp. salt
-
1 tsp. minced garlic
-
1 tsp. garlic powder
-
12 oz. fresh spinach
-
8 oz. mozzarella cheese
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
In a frying pan, brown the ground meat. Be sure to break the meat into small, ground pieces.
-
When browned, remove from heat and add all of the alfredo sauce and salt, then set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, and garlic power until thoroughly combined.
-
In a large casserole dish, spread half of the meat mixture across the bottom of the dish. Top with half of the ricotta cheese mixture.
-
Tear spinach leaves into small pieces (size dependent on your preference, I like bigger pieces) and add half of the spinach to the top of the meat and ricotta mixture.
-
Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese.
-
Repeat the layers; meat, ricotta, spinach, and then top with the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake for 35 minutes, until the cheese on top is golden and bubbling.

Plate and enjoy!
