This is a monthly staple in our household!! We have also made it with leftover rice instead of potato and added broccoli before. All amazing!

Hi Mari, I’m so glad it was a winner for your family! Thank you for the kind feedback!

I just made this and my family loved it!!!
Will make it again.
Tried this, I halved the portions.
It came out great! Tastes just like a mince lasagna, just without the pasta, so good! Will definitely make it again.
Hi Mohini, I agree, it does taste like mince lasagna! Thanks for the positive feedback!
This recipe sounds Amazing! I am going to have to try it. Question tho, how many servings for the extra large sheet pan? I don’t see it in the list. I have to watch my potassium and I would love to have a bite or two, but my husband doesn’t watch anything and I know he will love this. Thanks for such wonderful recipes!
Fantastic. I used low-fat ground turkey, Rampicante squash (very low water), double mushrooms, (had to leave out bell peppers because of allergy), two large garlic cloves thinly sliced, and all the other ingredients listed in the recipe. For seasoning, along with the garlic and onion powders, 2 tsp Italian seasoning and 2 tsp whole fennel seeds to provide an Italian sweet sausage taste, plus 2 TB soy sauce for added umami since I wasn’t using beef.
Wow! It’s delicious! And there is no way we could each eat 1/8th, it was so filling. This is definitely a keeper! Thanks so much.
HI Darcie, That’s so awesome of you to come back and share your feedback with us! It will be super helpful to many!
Made tonight- did not use the potatoes, but added 1/2 more zucchini and 1/2 more peppers.
Was delicious and husband enjoyed the presentation with the fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes. Thank you, Stella!
I meal prepped it this week using 93/7 ground turkey and it was DELICIOUS! I will adjust the cooking time because ground turkey is leaner and could be drier if cook too long.
the whole family loved this recipe! thank you so much!
Hi Jennifer, I’m so glad it was a winner with the family! Thank you for the kind feedback too!
Do you have a smaller recipe for this?
Can you substitute sweet potatoes for white potatoes in this recipe?
