Homemade lasagna just got a lot easier thanks to our Macro-Friendly One-Pot version! This recipe requires only one pan and just 30 minutes.
Equipment
- 1 Wooden spoon
- 1 Spoon
- Serving plates
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 24oz marinara sauce
- 1½ cup cup water
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- ¾ cup part-skim ricotta
- ¾ cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- Optional: fresh basil
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess liquids.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the marinara, water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot, and stir to combine.
- Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to the pot, making sure they are fully submerged in the sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure noodles do not stick to the bottom.
- Once the noodles are tender, spoon dollops of the ricotta mixture over the top of the lasagna.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheeses over the top of the ricotta mixture. Allow the cheese to melt for a few minutes.
- Once the cheese is melted, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped basil if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a large, deep skillet to ensure all the ingredients can be easily combined and cooked together.
- If you find that the liquid has evaporated too quickly, you can add a little extra water or tomato sauce.
