Selecting the right meat is crucial for enhancing lasagna's flavor and compatibility with cheese.
Wagyu's signature is marbling and richness, meaning that the meat's fattiness is exactly why it's so highly prized. If you don't like that, you'll be happier with a different premium cut.
Choose good meat from a trusted source. Whether using beef, turkey or lamb, ideally the meat is grass-fed with enough fat to keep it moist and flavorful. Look for a ratio between 80% to 85% lean meat to 20% to 15% fat. If you're cooking with turkey, ground dark meat has more flavor and is moister than white meat. Keep it cold.
