Skillet Lasagna with Ground Turkey

Preparation

1
Brown the ground turkey in a large skillet over medium heat until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.
2
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about three minutes until softened.
3
Break the dry lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly over the turkey mixture.
4
Pour the marinara sauce and a half cup of water into the skillet, ensuring most of the noodles are submerged.
5
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
6
Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and cook for one minute until they are completely wilted.
7
Drop small dollops of ricotta cheese over the top and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella.
8
Cover the pan for an additional two minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly before serving.
