Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 2 cups low-sodium marinara sauce
• 6 noodles no-boil lasagna noodles
• 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup water
• 1 small diced onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, and water, then mix to combine.

Step 6

Break the no-boil lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and layer them in the skillet, submerging them slightly into the sauce.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles cook evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta, Parmesan, and a small pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 9

Spoon dollops of the ricotta mixture over the lasagna in the skillet, spreading slightly but leaving some pockets for texture.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.

Step 11

Cover the skillet again and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove from heat and let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve warm.
