Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, no salt added
- 8 ounces tomato sauce, no salt added
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 6 sheets whole grain lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the diced onions. Sauté onions for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Stir and cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Break the lasagna noodles into 2-3 inch pieces and nestle them into the sauce, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom.
Once the noodles are cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the lasagna in the skillet and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, before serving.
Spoon the skillet lasagna into bowls or plates and enjoy!
