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

can this be made the day before, refrigerated and baked off the next day?
This is a great fall recipe! My husband asked what I was doing with the pumpkin, I said never you mind! He loved it! I mixed the sauce with the pumpkin and layered accordingly. I will definitely make again!
I made it as is at home before making it in our small cafeteria. As written the recipe is ok. The mods at the cafeteria were: mix the meat in with the pumpkin and layer that way. I felt like all the meat on the bottom layer didn't give enough of the spices in the sausage a chance to mix with the pumpkin. I also like the texture mixing it provided. I'm not a fan of creamy savory. We sold out of the lasagna and the skeptics who tried it left saying they wish they had got a bigger piece!! Probably could make it faster with jarred Alfredo, but I recommend taking the Time to make the sauce.
I made this last night for dinner, I thought it was delicious! Slightly time-consuming to prepare all the layers, but assembly was quick. I was unable to fit the last layer of noodles in my pan, so i just topped the last layer of pumpkin with the remaining sauce and sprinkled a little parmesan cheese over it. I baked it for 43 minutes and let it sit for a good 10 before cutting. It set up beautifully and is even better the next day for lunch!
