Ingredients

2.5 pound butternut squash, halved with seeds removed
1 pound homemade chestnut pasta rolled into sheets (or use store-bought lasagna noodles)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 cup shallots, minced
1 pound foster farms organic ground turkey
2 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
salt & pepper
2.5 cup cheese, parmesan, grated [usda:1032]
7 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup sweet rice flour
4 cup milk
2.5 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon spices, nutmeg, ground [usda:2025]

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Prepare the fresh pasta sheets (recipe here: http://www.snixykitchen.com/2015/03/25/gluten-free-chestnut-flour-pasta-ravioli-with-goat-cheese-and-spring-vegetables/) or, if using store-bought, prepare the lasagna sheets according to the directions on the package, if needed. Place squash on parchment or silpat mat-lined baking sheet, cut side down, and roast for 30 minutes, or until soft. Scoop squash flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to brown. Add organic ground turkey, fresh sage, and ¼ teaspoon each salt & pepper (or more depending on your taste!). Cook, stirring, until the meat browns and cooks completely through. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Meanwhile, prepare the bechamel. In a 9×13 casserole dish or baking pan, spread a very thin layer of béchamel along the bottom of the pan. Layer 3-4 layers of pasta, ground turkey, butternut squash, béchamel, and grated parmesan, ending with a final layer of pasta, béchamel, and grated parmesan. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Melt butter in same large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet rice flour and whisk until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, heat milk in saucepan until just about to boil. Add milk to butter and flour mixture in three parts, whisking continuously until very smooth. Bring to a boil. Continue cooking until the béchamel thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in salt and nutmeg.
