TIP: Use no-boil lasagna noodles (we like Barilla brand), which will soak up moisture from the sauce and pumpkin.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 (1-lb.) package fresh turnip greens, chopped
  • 1 1/2 qt. milk
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, divided
  • 1 (29-oz.) can pumpkin
  • 1 pound no-boil lasagna noodles
  • Vegetable cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °. Cook sausage in 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, 4 to 5 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove sausage to a plate, using a slotted spoon; reserve drippings in skillet. Reduce heat to medium.
  2. Stir garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, half of turnip greens, 1/2 cup water, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into hot drippings. Cook 1 minute, stirring and scraping bottom of skillet to loosen browned bits. Stir in remaining turnip greens. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 5 to 6 minutes or until greens are tender and water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
  3. Microwave milk, in batches, in a microwave-safe measuring cup covered with plastic wrap at HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes or until very warm. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in warm milk; cook, whisking often, 12 to 14 minutes or until mixture thickens and comes to a low boil. Remove from heat, and whisk in dry mustard, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, and 1 tsp. salt.
  4. Whisk together pumpkin, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl.
  5. Place 1 layer of lasagna noodles in a lightly greased (with cooking spray) 13- x 9-inch baking dish, covering bottom completely. (Use pieces of noodles to fill in any gaps.) Spread 1 cup sauce over noodles; top with cooked sausage. Add another layer of noodles and 1 cup sauce; top with half of pumpkin mixture. Add another layer of noodles and 1 cup sauce; top with turnip green mixture. Add another layer of noodles and 1 cup sauce; top with remaining pumpkin mixture. Add another layer of noodles and 1 cup sauce; top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake at 375 ° for 40 minutes or until top is golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with remaining sauce.
