Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Thoroughly combine all Turkey Sausage ingredients. [Set aside in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight for flavors to combine].
Using a pizza cutter, cut Lavash bread into triangles. (Make them resemble tortilla chips). Line a baking pan with parchment paper and put triangles on top. You will have to do a few batches at a time or separately. Spray Lavash with vegetable cooking spray. Season with garlic powder, onion powder and salt liberally. Put in oven and bake for about 5 minutes. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Cool on cooling racks. When cooled store in large Ziploc bags until assembly time.
In large pan that has been liberally sprayed with vegetable cooking spray, saute onion and garlic until fragrant. Add ground turkey mixture and saute until no longer pink. If meat is sticking to pan, add a bit of water and stir. Add shredded, cooked chicken breast and continue cooking until all flavors are combined. Set aside.
In a sauce pan, add sauce ingredients. Warm together over medium heat until flavors combine - about 10 minutes..Add all drained peppers. Set aside.
Spray a 13 x 9 cooking pan with vegetable spray and spread a couple tablespoons of the tomato sauce mixture on the bottom. Lay out half of the Lavash triangles. Put ½ of the meat mixture and about ⅓ of sauce mixture on top of triangles, Repeat same for 2nd layer. Layer ½ of the cheese on top of 2nd layer and add any remaining sauce. Top with remaining cheese.
Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes and serve.
