- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to the skillet. Cook until the meat is no longer pink.
- Stir in the chopped spinach, allowing it to wilt. Remove from heat.

- Repeat the layers, ending with noodles topped with the remaining sauce and cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
