Chicken or Turkey Alfredo Lasagna

After Thanksgiving this year, I wanted something different to do with all of the leftover turkey. After a suggestion from a coworker, I looked up a Chicken Alfredo Lasagna recipe, and found a simple one on the Pilsbury website.
Repeat after me: “I modified it...” tested it on my family, and this is the result. It works just fine with either turkey or chicken, and in fact, might be the recipe most forgiving of changes or substitutions that I have on this site.

Chicken or Turkey Alfredo Lasagna
1 container (16 oz) ricotta cheese or small curd cottage cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheese blend (3 oz)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley
1 cup chopped or thinly sliced onion
1/2 package (4 oz) sliced fresh baby portabella mushrooms or 1/2 7oz can mushroom stems and parts, drained
3 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken (from 2-lb chicken) or Turkey breast meat, cooked and shredded
1/2 cups roasted red bell peppers (from a 12-oz jar), drained, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2-1/2 jars (15 oz each) four-cheese Alfredo pasta sauce
9 sheets rectangular instant lasagna noodles (7 1/8 x 3 1/2 inches)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9- inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix ricotta or cottage cheese, cheese blend and garlic salt; set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, combine Alfredo Sauce, chicken, onions, muchrooms, and roasted peppers. Spoon about 2 1/3 cups chicken mixture in baking dish. Layer with 3 noodles, half of cottage cheese or Ricotta mixture and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining 3 noodles, 2 1/3 cups chicken mixture and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. 
  • Bake uncovered 50 minutes or until golden brown around edges. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
