2large or 4 small sweet potatoespeeled and sliced into 1/8 inch rounds
3cupsdairy-free mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Brown the ground turkey in a large skillet over MEDIUM and drain any excess oil. Add meat back to pan with the remaining ingredients for the meat sauce. Stir and simmer over LOW until ready to layer the lasagna.
Add thawed and drained spinach to a bowl. Set aside.
Add cashews, lemon juice, water, and salt to a food processor or high-power blender. Pulse until very smooth. Add to the spinach along with the nutmeg and mix well.
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x12 inch casserole pan. Place half the sweet potato slices on top and sprinkle with salt. Add 1/2 the spinach mixture and spread out over the entire surface of sweet potatoes. Top with 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers once and finish off with the last bit of meat sauce and remaining cup of cheese. Bake at 400°F for 45-60 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender and cheese is melted.
