Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F (425°F).
Slice the sweet potatoes into thin ¼‑inch circles.
Prepare the cheese sauce: blend the eggs, cottage cheese, ½ cup grated parmesan, ¼ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp onion powder, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of avocado oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, then stir in the meat seasonings (2 tsp paprika, ¼ tsp chili powder, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper).
Add the chopped tomatoes and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, mashing the tomatoes slightly to create a sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Turkey is cooked through and excess liquid has drained away.
Grease a 9×13‑inch glass baking dish with avocado oil. Layer the sweet‑potato slices, a portion of the cheese sauce, and a layer of the meat mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining cheese sauce, meat mixture, and the remaining ½ cup grated parmesan on top.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 40–45 minutes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Covered layers soften and cook through in the oven.
Remove the foil and broil for 2–3 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Top turns golden and slightly crisp. Let the lasagna rest so the layers settle before serving.
