Whole recipe (6 servings): 2700 kcal
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces no-boil lasagna noodles (about 9 noodles)
- 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
- 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional)
Method
10 steps- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in marinara sauce, diced tomatoes with their juices, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Break lasagna noodles into 2-inch pieces. Stir them into the sauce, making sure they are submerged. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender, about 15-18 minutes. If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water.
- While noodles cook, in a medium bowl, mix ricotta, egg, and half of the Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Stir spinach into the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Preheat oven broiler to high.
- Drop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture over the lasagna. Sprinkle with mozzarella and remaining Parmesan.
- Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Recipe notes
Helpful tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
- If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a baking dish before broiling.
Equipment
- Large oven-safe skillet (12-inch)
- Mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
Storage
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave or oven.
Additional tips
- The skillet will be hot under the broiler; use oven mitts. Ensure ground turkey is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
