Made all in one pan and using dried noodles instead of boiling them, this weeknight lasagna has all the flavor of a complex layered casserole with a lot less work. Substitute ground beef to be more traditional, or soy crumbs to go vegetarian.

Quicker Pan Lasagna with Ground Turkey
ingredients
- 1 cup (226 g) low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 lb (453g) 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 small yellow onion, minced
- 1 medium green or red pepper, cleaned and chopped
- 1 (28-oz/794g) can crushed tomatoes without added salt
- 1 1/2 cups (360 mL) low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tsp granulated garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 7 (6 oz/170 g) lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces
- 1 cup (113 g) semi-skimmed mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions
Leave the cottage cheese at room temperature while you make the sauce and noodles. Heat the oil in a large (12-14 inch/30-35 cm) skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, onion, and pepper and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat occasionally, until the turkey is browned, 8 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the noodles and toss to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, especially on the bottom of the pan, to make sure the noodles don’t stick. Cook until noodles are tender, 25 minutes. Lower the heat if the liquid is reducing too quickly.
Pour the cottage cheese over the noodle mixture and simmer without stirring for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, top with mozzarella, cover and let sit until cheese melts, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
