How to make Turkey Spinach Instant Pot Lasagna

You’ll need to add water to your pressure cooker, so this recipe will be prepared in a baking dish that you place inside of the pressure cooker pot. I have the 8 qt Instant Pot and used a 1 1/2 qt. round glass baking dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings
• 1/2 teaspoon salt and red-pepper flakes to taste
• 15 oz. container ricotta
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, shredded
• 1 – 10 oz package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• fresh ground pepper
• 6-9 oven-ready lasagna noodles, broken to fit a round baking dish
• 1 large jar chunky pasta sauce
• 1 cup water

Mix ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella and spinach in a bowl. Add salt and fresh ground pepper.

Coat the bottom of an oven-safe baking dish that will fit inside of your pressure cooking pot with a spoonful of pasta sauce.

Add a layer of the noodles. Break the edges so they will fit inside of the round dish. Now add half of the meat mixture over the noodles. Pour half the pasta sauce over the noodles and spread half of the cheese mixture on top.

Repeat the layers, and top with the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Cover the baking dish with foil.

Pour 1 cup water into the pressure cooker pot and place a trivet or pot lifter in the bottom of the pot. If you don’t have a trivet to lift the pan out of the hot pressure cooker, make a sling out of of a large foil strip. Center the pan on the trivet or foil strip and lower it into the pressure cooker.

Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and set the timer for 20 minutes.

When timer goes off, turn off the pressure cooker and turn the steam release valve to “venting” to release the pressure. When the pressure valve drops, remove lid and remove dish from pressure cooking pot.

Remove foil, let set for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy! You can also make this simple ground turkey spinach lasagna in the oven. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes until bubbly.
