Mini Lasagnas


 Last week me and the god daughter made dinner together. She is 9 and she enjoys cooking as much as any 9 year old can. So anytime she is over we always cook, talk about school/work and just get to spend that good ol quality time with one another. So this meal she was exited to hear the word "Mini" combined with the word " Lasagne". I found this meal over at the website Can You Stay for Dinner. 

 For the ingredients you will need the following:

16 oz. of Turkey
1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic diced

1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
14.5 of tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
3 tsp dried oregano, divided
1/2 dried basil
1 1/2 cup skim ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
24 small square wonton wrappers that can be found by the tofu in the fridge department.
1/4 tsp of salt, divided
1/4 tsp of pepper
The hardware:

1 large skillet
1 bowl
1 muffin pan
2 measuring cups (1 cup, 1/2 cup)
3 measuring spoons (1 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1 tbs)
Directions
  1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Add the turkey, mushroom, onion, a pinch of salt and pepper to your skillet set to medium heat and cook until the meat is brown and crumbled. Add the garlic at the end and let cook for about another minute or so.
  3. After you have mixed in your garlic add your tomato sauce and 2 tbs of oregano. to your pan and allow it all to cook/boil together for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes remove from heat. The smells at this point are incredible. I could have literally ate this for dinner and have been a happy camper.
  4. While the sauce is cooking together take a bowl and add the ricotta cheese, the remaining oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix all of it until it is well blended.
  5.  Spray your muffin pan with some cooking spray before you get started to the next step.
  6.  Take 12 won ton wrappers and line each up with one. Gently press to the bottom and press them to the sides of each cup.
  7. Take half of your ricotta cheese mix and add a spoonful to each cup
  8. Then take half of your meat mixture and divide up between the 12 cups.
  9. Then add about 2 tsp on top of the meat mix.
  10. Repeat the layering process one again. You should end up with 2 layers when you are done.
    Place them in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted
     
  11.  After ten Minutes remove them from the oven and take a look at your new creation. I found the best way to remove them is with a spoon. Serve with garlic bread or salad and enjoy.
