I came across this recipe in the most serendipitous manner...on my way to work going 50mph I saw some trash blowing across the road...it got stuck to my car and I could hear it fluttering all the way to work. When I got out of my car I found a piece of newspaper stuck to my front grill. I took it off and what was it? A torn out page from a week old newspaper that has 4 yummy sounding recipes! Wow. I feel obligated to post them now. This one sites: Cook's Illustrated.

2 cups water

3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet that can accommodate all of the ingredients. You may need to use a Dutch oven or a large braising pan if you don't have a large skillet.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Brown the turkey in batches if necessary.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your lasagna. This will add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. You can cook them beforehand and let them cool.
  • Make sure to use a good quality marinara sauce. A homemade sauce is always best, but you can use a store-bought sauce if you're short on time.
  • Layer the lasagna in the skillet in the following order: sauce, noodles, cheese, vegetables, turkey, and repeat. You should end with a layer of sauce and cheese.
  • Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. The lasagna should be bubbly and the cheese should be melted and golden brown.

One-skillet turkey lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It can be made using a variety of ingredients, so you can customize it to your liking.
