Lasagna,my way!

Today is St. Patrick's day and we are celebrating my wifes birthday with family and friends with what else? Lasagna, a particularly rich and satisfying dish with some history! This being a relatively easy dish, my wife made it easier for me. She bought most of the ingredients so I would just slap it together with some relative ease and minimal clean up!  So leaving me for a few hours until the guests arrived I started off with the most necessary steps and ingredients to this one or two pan meal!
First good tunes on my vast collection.
Music list for Lasagna:

Okay now were ready for the ingredients!

This Lasagna I would say is my wifes closest wish in the category of lite!The term used for the latest diet crazed in the world; well I am beholden to her taste, she schlepped all the stuff home from the city and it is her birthday!
So we have in the mix:

2.5lbs ground white turkey
1 large spanish onion diced
2 heads roasted garlic
2 bunches basil chopped roughly
1 bunch Italian parsley chopped roughly
1 Orange sweet pepper diced square
1/4 pound of domestic mushrooms halved and sliced
2lbs ricotta cheese
3 whole eggs
1/4 pound grated Parmigiano cheese
salt
pepper
Italian dried herbs(use your taste buds!)
Tomato product(sauce) bought or made at home!
1 lb Mozzarella cheese
2 pounds fresh pasta sheets 
1/4 cup olive oil

Lasagna:

1. Brown meat and season with salt and pepper, drain and set aside in bowl.

2. Sweat onions, pepper in oil and season with dried herbs,salt and pepper to taste;add to meat.

3.Sauté  mushrooms with oil till water evaporates and mushrooms start to brown, season with salt and pepper;set aside and cool.

4.Mix ricotta cheese with fresh herbs, eggs and parmigiano cheese;season with salt and pepper to taste.

5.Start layering by first putting sheets of pasta in the bottom of the pan(roasting pan 15" x12"),then add a thin layer of tomato sauce 1/4" or 1/2' ,add in some of the cheese mix,meat and pasta.Continue till you have four layers ending the last layer with just Mozzarella,parmigiano and tomato sauce.

6. Bake at 325-350 oven, covered with foil for 20 minutes and uncovered the rest of the time, remove from oven cool, set and cut.
