Ravioli Dump Dinner Recipe

The rule for dump dinners is that all ingredients are dumped into a casserole dish; no chopping or slicing, or browning – everything goes in just as it comes from the fridge, freezer, or can. This easy Ravioli Dump Dinner is quick to put together, and doesn’t break any of the rules. You can also vary some of the ingredients, i.e. substitute a package of frozen broccoli for the spinach, or break the rules a little and use grated or sliced zucchini when your garden is overrun. You can also substitute 97% lean ground beef for the ground turkey. Or, you can make a vegetarian version and leave out the turkey. You can choose to use cheese ravioli or beef ravioli, or use frozen tortellini.

This is an easy dish to serve on a weeknight, or when you’re expecting a crowd. I use my homemade marinara sauce from the Italian Marinara Module, or Shortcut Instant Pot Marinara Module, but if you are in a hurry and don’t have homemade sauce in the freezer, feel free to use canned or bottled sauce from the grocery store.
This dish is yummy served with a good tossed salad and crusty bread or Fabulous Five Minute Foccacia.
12 Servings
1 25 ounce package frozen ravioli
1 10 oz. package fresh spinach
1 pound ground turkey, (97% lean)
1 10 3/4 ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
3 1/2 cups marinara sauce, homemade or a 24 ounce can
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 375. Spray a deep 9" x 13" glass baking dish with non-stick spray.
Spread the ravioli evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish. Top with the spinach, pressing it down. Break up the ground turkey and dot over the spinach. Spread the cream of mushroom soup over the ground turkey. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the soup. Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the top with the Parmesan cheese. Bake one hour and fifteen to one hour thirty minutes or until hot and bubbly.
