(3 votes)

No need to make a sauce, simply use cartons of crème fraîche for this speedy lasagne.

Preheat the oven to 180oc, 350oF, gas mark 4.
Put the small florets of broccoli into a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to stand. Fill a large bowl with warm water and drop in the lasagne sheets (one at a time so they don’t clump together) and leave to stand.
Empty the cartons of crème fraiche into a bowl and mix in 3 tablespoons of water. Also add the herbs, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Drain the broccoli and season with salt and pepper. Drain the lasagne. Season the chopped turkey and the chopped tomatoes with salt and pepper. Spread a small spoonful of the crème fraîche mixture over the base of the dish. Arrange a layer of lasagne sheets over the base. Scatter half of the turkey and the ham over the lasagne. Also scatter half the broccoli and tomatoes. Spread one third of the crème fraîche over and scatter some grated cheese on top.
Place the second layer of lasagne on top and repeat the filling as just described.
The third layer of lasagne is placed on top with the remaining third of the crème fraîche spread over. Scatter the remaining cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. After the first 20 minutes raise the heat to 190ºC, 375ºF, gas mark 5 and continue cooking until a rich golden and bubbling.
Leave to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with a tossed green salad.
