One of my favorite ways to wind down and spend the evening, a little movement, a little entertainment, and a little work.
I mean, pj’s pass as appropriate office attire around here, as you can see. A peek into my world right now.
sweet potato lasagna it is then
It’s supposed to be spring around here; although, somehow, the snowflakes always welcome themselves around this time in March.
With freezing temperatures and ice-skating rinks for stairs, I packed away my denim shorts this week and dove into the warm world of casseroles and lasagna. They didn’t disappoint!

- Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease the bottom of a 8" by 5" casserole dish with olive oil (about 1 teaspoon).
- Mix all ingredients for sausage together in a skillet and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until cooked through (undercook slightly so it can finish cooking in lasagna).
- Layer shredded white sweet potato, sautéed onion, spinach, and sausage into an 8" by 5" casserole dish.
- Beat eggs until smooth and mix in the herbs for the sauce. Pour eggs over the layered ingredients into the casserole dish.
- Bake on 350F for about 50 minutes until baked through- when cooked, the middle of the casserole should spring back when you press your finger into the middle.

Sounds great! How many servings does it make? I’m not big into worrying myself with nutritional info but it seems high sodium
Lol never mind I see it!
I made this without the sausage. I used mushrooms instead of the sausage. It was really good!
This looks great! Do you think I could assemble it the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning?
Totally!
Do you use regular ground turkey or ground turkey sausage? Recipe isn’t clear! Thanks! 🙂
Hi Rachel, I used just regular ground turkey. 🙂
Could I use regular sweet potatoes for this recipe?
Hi Danielle, regular potato would totally work!
Hi Kaylie–when you say regular potato are you talking like russet potato as a sub for white sweet potato, or one could use yams/sweet potatoes instead of white sweet potatoes? I am having trouble finding white sweet potatoes near me.
Hi Jennifer, you could use orange sweet potatoes in place of white in this recipe. 🙂 Enjoy!
Any replacement I can do for eggs?
I don’t know that there is a good replacement. Maybe the sauce from this recipe: https://paleoglutenfree.com/recipes/creamy-whole30-bacon-garlic-spaghetti-squash/
If you’re freezing it – are you doing it cooked or uncooked? Then baking from frozen or defrosting then baking? I’d like to double it up and freeze one for a later meal.
Hi JJ, I cook it a little under then freeze and reheat later. 🙂
I am not familiar with “white” sweet potatoes. What are they? Thanks
Hi Pat, they are just sweet potatoes that have a white coloring on the inside instead of orange like yams. 🙂 Hope that helps.
Love the idea of this dish! We have a favorite Farmers Market pork sausage that I planned to use for this. I tasted after the sausage was cooked. Oh oh. Pretty spicy. Unfortunately, they gave me Italian sausage instead Of simple pork sausage. Sigh. It was spicy but sour cream helped cut it.
I think the next time I make it, I will double it for a bigger pan (I always put more veg in something like this), and maybe use turkey sausage.
Anything I can substitute for the sweet potato…I am Candida and have to avoid any kind of potato.
Hi Jamie, you might be able to sub it with zucchini?
The flavor was good but this turned a little dry. Maybe overcooked the Turkey so next time I’ll add a little salsa. I think that’ll help and will taste good. The high in protein kept me full.
So you layer ingredients just like a traditional lasagna?
Yes. 🙂
This sounds amazing. Adding it to the list for back to school breakfasts
Could you explain how you get 40 grams of protein per serving? Seems way too high for 1/4 pound of ground turkey plus sweet potato, spinach and onion.
Hi Monica, the nutritional info is auto calculated in the website. I can look into it.
Do you sauté the spinach or leave it raw and let it cook in the oven. Love your recipes!
Hi Sandy, Thank you! I put it in raw and it cooks in the oven. 🙂
I can’t have dairy and love lasagna, so this recipe looks fantastic! I have it in the oven baking now. So anxious to try it with all the flavors. I didn’t have fresh sage and subed ground sage. I also put in a little fennel seed in the turkey sausage. Everything I used was organic, so should be good.
Hi Sheri,
Subbing ground sage works great and the fennel seed will add a nice flavor to the meat. I hope you enjoyed it!
