Slow cooker turkey lasagna. Excellent Italian lasagna with ground turkey and spinach cooked in a slow cooker. Very easy and delicious recipe!
What are the advantages of using a slow cooker for turkey lasagna?
A slow cooker is a great way to cook lasagna because it requires little supervision and long periods of cooking. The ingredients are layered in the pot, which is then set to low for a few hours. The slow cooker will keep the lasagna warm for up to four hours after cooking and can be used as a serving dish.
This type of lasagna is easy to make and doesn’t require any pre-cooking of pasta or meat. Slow cookers are also great for making other types of dishes like soups, stews, roasts, or casseroles.
What are the disadvantages of using a slow cooker for turkey lasagna?
A slow cooker is usually used to make soups and stews, but it can also be used to make lasagna.
The advantages of using a slow cooker are that it is one less pot to wash, and it can cook the lasagna without drying out the noodles. The disadvantages of using a slow cooker are that it doesn’t do well with liquids, so you have to be careful not to let them spill over the side. Also, there is no browning of any kind. The turkey will just be in a watery sauce and will not have any flavor.

It seems that it will be a little dry with only one cup of sauce. Can you add more on top
