These Turkey Lasagna Cups feature the traditional layers of a tomato meat sauce and cheese. The cups are a smaller bite size than the original large bake style making it a choice for finger foods and appetizers at social events.

Rather than the traditional lasagna noodle, the recipe uses a wonton noodle that is already moist and pre-cut to a size ideal for the cupcake holes. If desired you could also use the traditional lasagne noodle.

This recipe calls for ground turkey to make the meat sauce however you can also use a wide range of other game bird options or even switch over to traditional beef or pork.
