👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Pasta

Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce

In a medium saucepan over medium heat:

• Melt the butter.
• Whisk in the flour and cook 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
• Slowly whisk in warm milk, stirring continuously.
• Simmer 4–5 minutes until thickened.
• Stir in garlic powder, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese.

Remove from heat once smooth and creamy.

3️⃣ Assemble the Lasagna

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Layer in this order:

• Thin layer of sauce
• Lasagna noodles
• Shredded chicken
• Diced smoked turkey
• Swiss cheese
• Spoonfuls of sauce

Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and mozzarella on top.

4️⃣ Bake

Cover loosely with foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10–15 more minutes until cheese is melted and lightly golden. Broil 2–3 minutes for extra browning if desired.

5️⃣ Rest and Serve

Let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
