Game changer!!! So easy to make (in 1 skillet) & packed with protein and flavor!! YUM!
RECIPE:
1 lb lean ground turkey (or lean ground beef)
½ yellow onion, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
24 oz jar marinara sauce
8 oz uncooked lasagna noodles (GF if necessary)
1 ½ cups water
1 cup cottage cheese - low-fat
1 cup low fat shredded mozzarella, divided
Place a pan on the stove over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add the ground turkey/beef, onion, zucchini, minced garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning to a large saucepan. Break up the turkey and stir continually as you cook it. Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium heat until the turkey is cooked through.
Next, break the uncooked noodles into large pieces. Add the marinara sauce, water, and broken lasagna noodles and stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Turn the temperature to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the lasagna simmer for 25-35 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked. Stir the mixture every 5 minutes. Ensure that the noodles spend the majority of the time submerged in the mixture so they can cook evenly.
Once the lasagna noodles are soft, remove the pan from the heat and remove the lid. Add the cottage cheese and ½ cup of the mozzarella cheese. Stir the lasagna until the mozzarella cheese is melted.
Add the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese on top and either broil it in the oven for 3-4 minutes or cover the pan with the lid for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Let the lasagna cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
